I Wonder -

It seemed to me that summer

It would never come again

I watched the snow through dusty windowpanes

Every time I dreamed at night

I woke up filled with terror

Silent things were floating in the air

And I wonder how you sleep

And I wonder how you breathe

Do you have a tourniquet?

I swear it’s not for me

The blood it seems to be now ankle deep

Ice is weighing down the trees

They’re bending down their heads

I can’t remember anything you said

And I wonder how you sleep

And I wonder how you breathe

All the rusted cages that

I kept out in the yard

Those rabid feral creatures were set free

Now they circle 'round the house

And I can’t go outside

I’m running out of places I can hide

And I wonder how you sleep

And I wonder how you breathe
