Alone and pissed off
sha-shooting at the walls
that always closing at night
in a faded cotton gown
she burns that candle down
wasting her breath
asking why
she don't know to go home
she don't know to sleep alone
Painted sad eyes
you don't deserve your tears
turn that light out and come outside
as a caged bird dreams of trees
and sings for company
about the fear of gravity
she don't want to go home
she don't want to sleep alone
a burned child and loved the flame
a firin did the same
with the taste of ashes in her mouth
memories are the food of fools
drowning in their dreams
a fish bowl filled with fools like me
she don't want to go home
she won't always be alone
alone and pissed off
blow the door open wide
walk through
and start again
