Compressed in bed, feeling rigid,
Dreaming about animals dying.
The mornings kick so much harder-
Kick me right back into bed.
We just let the sun rise and set.
And let it be known-
I'm no more awake come noon,
No more awake at work,
No more awake in dreams:
Wading through syrupy water,
I feel that way come day.
I keep trying to speak up
But no one even sees the bubbles rise

Compressed in bed, feeling rigid,
Dreaming about animals dying.
The mornings kick so much harder-
Kick me right back into bed.
We just let the sun rise and set.
And let it be known-
I'm no more awake come noon,
No more awake at work,
No more awake in dreams:
Wading through syrupy water,
I feel that way come day.
I keep trying to speak up
But no one even sees the bubbles rise
