I got you an apartment so you didn't have to dwell in your dungeon anymore Thing is I can't get you to come to it You can't see past the laundry to the door You'll just perch on the edge of your bed and stare a hole through the wall Trying to breathe fresh air, but all you can breathe is the loss of it all That lack of oxygen for 4 minutes changed the world and there's no changing it You'll never be who you were That's a truth we must admit I was hoping I could find a distraction for you I was hoping I could rescue you and me too I beg you to see past the laundry, but all you see is a door you can't get through

For my brain damaged friend.
