lyrics

I stare outside so much
I should just tear down these drapes
Everything interesting is out there
Where I can't go
The girl walked by eight minutes earlier than normal
The smiling woman says I need a new watch
She's a bad liar
She said I'd be leaving soon
That was fourteen months ago
The man who says he's my nephew brought me a book yesterday
I haven't touched it
I miss walking in the park
I miss the rain hitting my face
When I tried to open the window
The smiling woman took away my sweets
I just wanted to touch the rain
Fog's getting thicker
The man who says he's my nephew yelled at me today
I can't remember why
He's a good liar
The girl was walking fast today
Men with thick coats were following her
I tried to warn her
But the smiling woman stopped me
Then she took my blanket away
I don't sleep in my bed anymore
The cold air makes my knees ache
The man who says he's my nephew stopped coming
I can't remember why
My bed smells like mold
The smell is so strong
It keeps me from falling asleep
The smiling woman doesn't believe me
She stopped giving me breakfast
The girl was half an hour late today
She was walking with the men in thick coats
I heard screaming coming from under my bed
The noise hurts my knees
I miss somebody
I can't remember why
My bed smells worse
It makes my eyes water
The smiling woman moved my dresser in front of the window
I can still see outside a tiny bit
The girl didn't walk by today
I want to light my bed on fire
I'm sick of all the screaming and the godawful smell
I miss walking in the park
I can't remember why
