the kitchen light flickers a dying pulse in the house silence feels like a brick through the window of my better judgment the mirror is tired of looking at me we were supposed to become simple food on the table shoes by the door but we choke with the exhaust of a thousand wrong turns my chest, your cage the slow crawl of a fool believing in mornings it’s a serious business this hunger better fold my thoughts into something deeper we are two people walking the same hallway and the sky is just another ceiling

the mirror is tired of looking at me
the kitchen light flickers a dying pulse in the house silence feels like a brick through the window of my better judgment the mirror is tired of looking at me we were supposed to become simple food on the table shoes by the door but we choke with the exhaust of a thousand wrong turns my chest, your cage the slow crawl of a fool believing in mornings it’s a serious business this hunger better fold my thoughts into something deeper we are two people walking the same hallway and the sky is just another ceiling
