If a watched *** never boils
I must be watched all the time
The churn of my insides never stops
I can feel them escaping me
My lid clattering as they splash out
I always think
What a mess I’m making
Those poor people
They must be sick of it
Of cleaning my insides
Of wiping me down
Of turning down the heat
I always think
If only I were a bigger ***
If only I were a better ***
If only I were a stronger ***
Things would be different
They would be happier
But no *** is big enough
No *** is good enough
No *** is strong enough
To hold everything it needs
To do everything they want
To be everything they can
At the end of the day
I’m just a ***
But maybe
Maybe that doesn’t mean
That I’m nothing more than a ***

I’m underwater
Im all turned around
I can’t tell what’s up
And I can’t tell what’s down
Is down where the air is?
Is it left, is it right?
If I knew the way to it
Would I even return to the light?
So my body just tumbles
Over and over itself
My lungs are bursting
I have to breathe
I take a guess
And start to flail
Too late though
I open my mouth
And all goes black
I float to the surface
They all point and say
Look how close they were!
If only they’d tried!

In my dreams
I am a blind man
Who can't hear
I feel my way through the darkness
Knocking things over
Pulling people down
When I find a comforting handhold
I hold on tight
A selfish grip
I scream but no sound comes out
My mouth opening silently
As if in shock instead of pain
Won't someone help me?
Find me in the darkness?
Hold me tight?
I keep thinking im going to wake up
Hoping
But I never do
Because this isn't a dream at all...
