WATERMEDOWN
Locks and Blinds
I've kept secrets
In the crevices of my apartment
You disregarded my every attempt
To prove everything evident
Instead of playing dead
For once in my life
Now, I shed time
Accommodating my whole life
With locks and blinds
The same view with a new light
That's not painted to cover up the occupants who bled here like I did
Who lived here like I did
Who died here like I did
Who left earth like I did
And who changed their
Perspective and clothes
For a place that no one knows
For a frame I named uncomfortable
Compared to angel wings and halos
Wasted time
Accommodating my whole life by
Pacing my
Apartment where we used to lie around;
In the brightest secluded
Space in this whole town
Where you never come around

So, pay no attention to that man
Behind the curtain;
The great one has spoken
I just think it's time that you
Opened up your
Eyes and thought of another
Before yourself
