You are about to find out what it takes, how the world is, how it works, and how it changes
All the little things I didn’t do or did wrong
I may have done some hurtful things
They were still giggling, so proud of themselves
Oh yeah, I feel bad sometimes
But it’s not my fault. It’s not my fault. It’s not
Things got better but I still had to be careful
So it was just us two for a long while
I did the best I could
I knew we were in trouble
I didn’t do it and have no idea how it happened
Then what? What did you mean?
The topic was not new
The plumbing in the mansion was breaking up
I don’t understand anything you’re saying
I know I’m an outsider, but I’m not an enemy
I’ll come back to check on you, okay?
You a pitiful case if ever I see one
They were in eternal if silent conversation
At a loss as to where to go or what to do
He swore later that he did not fall asleep
But what kind of message is that?
Moving, moving, all the time moving
There are no windows
It was not a story to pass on
She opened the door, walked in and locked it tight behind her
You are my face; I am you
He went to the window and wanted to cry
Nothing was in that shed, he knew, having been there early that morning
She had been dreaming it for years
Breathing and murmuring, breathing and murmuring
Just let me feel your fingers again on the back of my neck
