Letter by letter.



A Bigger Bed.

Floatin like these bodies mangled, strangled, limp, and rotting in the tide
Take all those emotions slosh them slowly in the ocean you’ve got inside
Throw your last breath to the sky where rockets reach the highest heights
And pray to God your strength has got the strength to go on through the night
There’s nothing to fear
When nobody’s here to make the wishing harder
And life is but a dream they tell me
But no one ever said there’d be a bigger bed
Waiting somewhere for me
So you sit and do the time, you take their tests, and learn their rhymes 
Nothing really matters when your brains are spilled and splattered in the lines
Facing all the faces as they chase their leather cases, nickels, dimes
Tick then a tock, then a tick, it’s the clock that’s mocking us for all our lives
There’s nothing to fear
When nobody’s here to make the wishing harder
And life is but a dream they tell me
But no one ever said there’d be a bigger bed
Waiting somewhere for me
