When This Is Over - Hayden

I wake up

Beside you, in mom’s car

I try to get you out

You’re strapped to the backseat

I am too

The car is rolling into water

Why are we

Strapped to our seats

Trapped

What did we do?

I cleaned my room just as she asked me to

Filling up, dirty water

My chin’s up, going under

You’re still asleep, baby brother

I’ll wake you up when this is over

The car is rolling into water

Why are we

Strapped to our seats

Trapped

What did we do?

I brushed my teeth just as she asked me to

This is it, baby brother

One more breath together

We’re almost under water

Where is mom?

I miss her

The car has rolled into the water

Why are we dying in this way

What did we do?

I was nice to him

Her boyfriend, this is stupid

When people come to search the lake

We’ll be found in our pajamas

They will see

A big mistake is all that this must be
