The ticks of the clock are wavering under the sound of snoring through the house I cannot see the clock And it seems I've been here so long I wonder if time has stopped, Slowed, drooling down Their cheeks Onto a pillow As I slyly try to slip unnoticed into that same unconsciousness Search party flashlights shine thoughts to my mind Pierce me for a moment So bright I must look And **** Just like that, There goes the exit sign So I flop around like a sunbather Flustered No light to soak, While the next head over (My sisters) Is draped in a French fry crown Being fanned by her burger henchmen The McDonalds queen orders her bidding done And mom Below in the basement Is caught in her teens Primping feathery hair To an 80's pop tune Chanting into her hairbrush Until she becomes Stevie nicks herself And next door, and on this street, and the next, People enter their portals To find (or forget) the untouchable realm of their minds And I lie And I wait

To step into a dream
The ticks of the clock are wavering under the sound of snoring through the house I cannot see the clock And it seems I've been here so long I wonder if time has stopped, Slowed, drooling down Their cheeks Onto a pillow As I slyly try to slip unnoticed into that same unconsciousness Search party flashlights shine thoughts to my mind Pierce me for a moment So bright I must look And **** Just like that, There goes the exit sign So I flop around like a sunbather Flustered No light to soak, While the next head over (My sisters) Is draped in a French fry crown Being fanned by her burger henchmen The McDonalds queen orders her bidding done And mom Below in the basement Is caught in her teens Primping feathery hair To an 80's pop tune Chanting into her hairbrush Until she becomes Stevie nicks herself And next door, and on this street, and the next, People enter their portals To find (or forget) the untouchable realm of their minds And I lie And I wait
