lizard skin i dress up in
every now and then, he looks me in the eye
speaks in riddles to the neighbors
i’m giving up again
my feelings are pretend
and he’s afraid of the dark
do do do do do do do
and he said “i’m sick of digging holes,
can’t we play dead once more?
air out our lungs and leave them in the shade
the doctors only know my bones,
not the stuff in between
they’ll never notice a thing.”
do do do do do do do
empty your pockets of lost change
they’ll eat it right up
the walls don’t just stare back,
they suck you into their abyss
so when the girls in white come by,
just sit up straight or they’ll be back at night
home is where the heart is,
where the heart stops beating
your heart stops beating
the cold won’t give in today
clock strikes it’s running late
faces i’ve missed over years of estrangement
sit on the porch and stare
at the yellow armchair
like it’s still saturday
