my sun;
cutting out and in
there's a tiger in my lifeboat
and I know him
and as I lay down on my squeaky bed
to race the race in my aching head
i felt my brain gasp
i heard my mom ask
if I was feeling okay
i walked in and saw my clothes clean
my loneliness was rushed away
and I said
"lay down,
you might die here
but you're gonna wait this one out"
struck white under fluorescent light
under a blanket I held tight
shakin the feelings from my toes
i felt the fuses start to blow
and as I lay down on my squeaky bed
to race the race in my aching head
i felt my brain gasp CUT CLASS
i heard my mom ask A CAR CRASH
if I was feelin okay
and I said no mom NO MOM
i did a bad thing AGAIN
but I love you so much more
than this translation could ever prove
