And I sit here
And a window reads
Everything is going to be alright

and I can feel a cool wind
And even though it is boiling hot in here
I shiver a little bit
And I want to sleep
But I can’t.
. I can’t
Everything is going to be alright

While dust rises
And embers burn
And people are dying across the world
Somewhere a young child
with his distended
Stomach
Everything is going to be alright

I don’t need you
to Make me feel better
but every second that
I secretly miss her
And also the days
I hate her more than anyone could know
Everything is going to be alright

Somehow the blade
is Thinner than I remember
and I swallow you whole
Chomping your dream to
bits.
. Everything
. Is
. Going
To be alright
