by gosh I swears I heard a sound
this room’s two springs most tightly wound
stop breathe repeat and unclench your fist
our heartbeat cannot handle this
and I’m beginning to know things and I’m noticing
that I’m beginning to know things like you cry yourself to sleep
and I’m beginning to know things and when you notice me
that I’ll be taking of all things a soapbox or a seat
to dream I’ll bore myself to sleep
stop breathe repeat and settle down
I’ve held my breath for minutes now
to dream I’ll bore myself to sleep to dream I’ll bore myself to sleep
