Take a look up
As you're sitting on the cement floor
Maybe I'll catch your eye
Just in time for you to
See me drift on by

One eye open
The other constantly blinking
Impossible to stand up
If you get used to sinking
Stay right where you are

Get comfortable
Being held down tight

As long as you know where you're at
Forget what it felt like
To have a steady pace
You can't get hurt again
If you stay where it's safe

Close the other eye
To ease the transition

As instinct pulls you deeper in
You step away from what is real
Clogged veins reinforce your reasons
To become numb looks so inviting
But is it worth giving up the sensation?

Slow down your motion
As your reflexes become stationary thoughts
Fast forward through emotion
Just to eventually say you forgot

You tell me it's easier that way
So don't bother getting up for me
