The Festering

As she falls down and hurts her head

She's lying still but she's not dead

Awakens slowly, sees a picture of herself

On the wall as she gets up

Straightens her dress and calls me up

She says: 'I know now, I am whole now. Can you come?'

In your room where both of you are talking

Your good side and your bad

Discussing who has better hair

In your space, I hear four feet walking

And there are two more knocking

In case you're wondering

I'm still on your side

As she embraces all of me

I want her only to need me

It doesn't matter what I tell her because she changes

Her mind before she speaks

And tends to talk before she thinks

But how I love her

I know there's truth for you somewhere

If I were wise I'd take you there

But I'm not, at least not yet

So I'll be watching you instead

In your room, in your room

In your room, I can wander around forever

And I recognize the color of the walls that we painted

In your chair that I broke because I was careless

I can sit and watch you dance around

My words are spoken, I am on your side

My words are spoken, I am on your side

In your room, in your room
