Disassociation 101

The carpet almost looks clean,
from up here on the ceiling
I never realized how long his legs are
His knees seem to touch his ears,
good to run from thing to thing

And I can see now that
my neck has definitely gotten longer
Yes, my jaw definitely looks thinner,
good for looking back

I'm looking back at this moment right now actually
It's not happening like I thought it was going to just a moment ago...
I thought that something would happen

But I can't even feel the tight waist on my jean
or tell you what's happening on the tv
so it must have been nothing
Yes, I'm sure it was nothing
Nobody's been here in weeks, in fact

I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking at
The focus gets thinner and thinner
under the dust on the cobwebs
but if anyone had been here
I'd know it

There would have been movement
and nothing has moved in me
in weeks

since the chemicals set my head on fire
I chewed up my tongue and called him a liar
I built up a wall made out of my teeth
and I shut off my nervous system
so I'd never be tempted to speak
