Send in the Metaphors

And they act on TV and you laugh at how
They move because it isn't right in the
Eyes of this or the sound of rain hitting the
Wall between your houses,
And no one talked about what was right
To do as it sounded like a cymbal that
Fell, or a tamborine you weren't supposed
To play, or were embarrassed,
Or maybe for once you missed your parents,
And the jigsaw puzzle piece that fell into
Place was really broken by a baby who
Thought it was something good to eat, when
It was a simple thirst that needed to be
Quenched.
- Me

All alone on the overpass
Wired and phoned to a heart of glass
Now I'm falling in love too fast
With you or the songs you chose
And all the stars
Play for me
Say the promise you long to keep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
I can hear you sing it to me in my sleep
