Hamelin

I never expected this
I never asked for it
I'm not even done with the last film I saw
there is still popcorn all over the place
and I still have half of the entrance ticket I bought
about a year ago...

And now, you suddenly decide to turn on the light
I told you all I wanted was to bathe in your foam
swim in your sky
and buy you a drink
(and you said you wanted that too...)

Flick!
said the light switch
when I turned to shut off the tube
you came gliding between the sheets
and now I have you pinned
between my breath and a pillow
between my hands and arrhythmia
and that was expected
that was the plan
but when I looked in your eyes
I turned into salt

Now I wake up to find you're not there
and I can't help but lie
like a little kid hides his dirty cookie jar hands
behind his back
now pick a hand
and maybe you'll find
half of the entrance ticket
that I bought over a year ago...
