Oskar's Drum Suffocation
Out in the cold night the porch lights glitter
You press toward me I feel you shiver
Thought we were done, then this touch
Could years of isolation be losing their frost?
Mad, bad at times, achingly blind
Here in the warm house
We sit in quiet
Who'll be the first now to break the silence?
The fire is warm, invite me close
You stare and stare and stare till my blood runs cold
How much silence can I take tonight?
Oh god I missed you, oh god how much
How much kindness in your hands?
Oh god I missed you, oh god how much
How much sadness in your eyes?
The cat is curled up tightly
The dog is twitching limbs
Come watch the moon rising up
Let's dance, sway, dance to its silvery beat
How much anger sparkles in your eyes?
Let me in
Don't suffocate
