five foot wall

how do you sleep tonight
knowing we are separated only
by a five foot wall
filled with insulation and drywall
that allow your late-night talks
to reach my room
how do you sleep at night
staying up late drinking
making music as an adult
oh that's right, you have freedom
i cannot sleep at night
knowing i have barely cracked the door of my brain
knowing that there is so much you don't know about me
and so much i don't know about you
i wish i could crawl through that five foot wall
and express what is lodged in my heart
because i am suffocating tonight
in this room
and i know you have all of the oxygen
