We sleep we sleep and we sleep so much
Days of isolation just trying to keep people from secrets or questions or answers
We never see the light of day with black out curtains and however many light bulbs you threw against the wall
You haven't moved from that indented bed in what feels like decades even the box spring has you're shape
We see alarm clocks in our dreams or numbers scraped in to the insides of our eyelids bright red numbers counting down
If only they made curtains for your own eyes so you couldn't se the light flashing through your mended together eyelashes
The sheets have faded to a nasty gray, there's spiders hanging from the ceiling, glass everywhere, and writing on the walls
"We'll sleep till we're dead."
Tear your lungs out just to stitch them back in upside down or sideways or in place of your heart
Your collarbone is so visible it jumps out of your body just like your hips and your ribcage and every other pretty bone in your skeleton
We're dying we're dying and we're dying so fast
Drop the clock hit the floor (I'm not dying breathless in my sleep)
Put your sunglasses on and open the curtains walk out the door and breathe
We can't sleep we can't sleep and we'll never sleep again

Just another something or anything or nothing.
