I’m stuck to the wall Stuck to the stool below me Stuck next to the empty fish tank that’s thinking out loud The couch is looking for me But the wall has me in her grasp I remember my life when I was free But I don’t long for the sun on my face nor do I miss the grass between my toes What I miss is roaming my house freely. Lurking in the kitchen well past midnight. Walking into the bathroom just for the hell of it. Sprawling out on the floor and watching the dust bunnies dance while I blow under the fridge I miss my life as a free man. Maybe one day I’ll be home again. But for now, I’m shackled to Sheetrock

I’m stuck to the wall Stuck to the stool below me Stuck next to the empty fish tank that’s thinking out loud The couch is looking for me But the wall has me in her grasp I remember my life when I was free But I don’t long for the sun on my face nor do I miss the grass between my toes What I miss is roaming my house freely. Lurking in the kitchen well past midnight. Walking into the bathroom just for the hell of it. Sprawling out on the floor and watching the dust bunnies dance while I blow under the fridge I miss my life as a free man. Maybe one day I’ll be home again. But for now, I’m shackled to Sheetrock
I wrote this about wanting to get up while charging my phone in the corner of my living room
