The Teal Walls of This Room.

You counted to 100
while I went and hid.
I waited 2 years, but
you never came to find me.

The mirror in the bathroom is
crooked again, and the tootsie
rolls are gone. WWII is over,
but my heart's still at war.

At night my lamp invites
robot shadows to my wall,
but the whispers in their
eyes keep me awake.

The mirror in the bathroom is
crooked again, and the tootsie
rolls are gone. WWII is over,
but my heart's still at war.

I climbed the tree we planted
when we were younger.
It's taller now, but I still
can't fly away from here.

The mirror in the bathroom is
crooked again, and the tootsie
rolls are gone. WWII is over,
but my heart's still at war.

I held my breath for as long
as I could, but still had
to inhale long before you.
