WE = YOU + ME... + HER

Drive me up, drive me down, swear that it's not a dream.
Flashing lights and sounds across the omnipotent screen-
Just dive in and pull away
I seem to have forgotten what I wanted to say;
It's a little like madness, and maybe more:
I hate how you sharpen your claws on the score
of stains across my sleeves.
It's not my fault my heart won't leave
And go (where it's safe) back under my skin-
It's the same sick obsession balloons have with pins.
I'm lying, of course, face down in the sun
Inevitable, circular, "we-are-all-one"
Except when he tells me I don't matter anymore.
How do I separate the waves from the shore?
Except to haul each back, one by one,
It's hard to wait and be battered when you'd rather just run
Alone, alone, down the winding stair-
Haunted by whispers of "oh no, I care"
Flashing lights and sounds across the omnipotent screen-
I'm praying, suffocating, swear to me it's just a dream.
