On a pillow

Drenched fabrics, nights underscored
Bright celphones, noiseless and bored

Hush now, hush, don't make a sound
Don't let them hear you, or they will find out

Your heart is broken, no doubt
cry whispers, there's no need to shout

you will get out, someday you'll fly out

The cats are sneaking again,
close the doors, don't let them in

shut the windows, close the curtains
They've come to steal, no, they're not our friends

Your hands are shaking and cold,
keep and fold them, don't be so bold

you will get out, someday you'll fly out

Now,
don't make a fuss
Cry,
on a pillow, not us
Wait,
stay still, don't you rush

you will get out, someday you'll fly out

Eyes open, don't miss the bus
never close them, don't sleep if you must

You'll see him soon, he'll arrive
you'll breathe again, be free, be alive

You're tired neck needs to bend
Bow your head, rest on the wind

No one's come yet, you're going nowhere
for now, hold your pillow, for now, it's unfair

but you will get out, someday you'll fly out
