it starts in my stomach
builds it's way up
i exhale heavily
i have had enough!

i'm kicking and boxing
trying to escape
all i feel is restlessness
i only recall shape

a clock on the wall
a bed shielding danger
dusted blue
and the smell of a stranger

is this the box
where you want me to be?
is this the world
you want me to see?

nervous for my behaviour
the man asks if i'm reading fairytales
i ask if he reads brains
he concedes and slowly inhales
