Dougie Poole
Laptop
My laptop glows like the moon
It's the only light in this shithole of a room
It's burning my eyes
It's burning my thighs
And I don't think I'll ever shut it down

Don't leave me alone
Don't turn off the show
'Cause I don't know if I'll survive the silence

How long has it been?
(I'll pretend I know what day it is)

My laptop, it eases the time
Between all the moments that make up real life
The food in my bed
The jars full of piss
I never meant for you to see me like this

But now that you're here
It's nice, but it's weird
So lower yourself closer to my level

You don't have to leave
Just keep talking to me
Until I can fall asleep
Oh, my laptop, it's warm like the sun
And in good time
It'll cool
And grow
And swallow this mess of mine
It's burning my eyes
It's burning my thighs
But I know I won't ever shut it down
