The Living Room



You trade to understand, to undermind
Who can you blame for doing this to you?
You kind of won, you were one of a kind
Until you craved the taste of the cold blue


It wasn't really a shocking surprise
The way you would bitch and moan
We know now we never should have closed our eyes
We should have never left you alone


Were the candles lit? Were the curtains drawn?
Was it damp like an egyptian tomb?
You didn't even care what might be going on
Outside the living room


From here we could not see what you could see
You drew conclusions to your illustrations
You could have left us with more dignity
But, it's what you wanted, so congratulations


What did you expect us to do?
As we wait for our lives to resume
Did you realize that some might follow you?
Into the living room


The flashing lights in your vicinity
So still and ageless lying on the sofa
I guess that that was your proclivity
Now I'm not sure if I was glad to know you


Now I'm afraid to take a single breath
I'll never know if it's a toxic fume
And from now on I will be scared to death
Every time I'm in the living room
