My friend in the jacket builds walls
That keep out the cold
But also the sun (which I've never seen
But exists, so I'm told)
But the pain comes in floods
Sent up from below
Pushing up bodies
Their memories in tow
And the walls now are creaking and cracking
Under pressure they bow
And the water starts seeping and soaking
And the puddles they grow
And wetness starts covering
The uncovered skin
And the outside the outside
Just keeps coming in
And the outside is cold
And the cold makes me tired
And the warmth of the sun
Is just all I've desired
But these walls have no windows
These walls have no doors
And who can see sunshine
Through cracks in the floors
But my jacketed friend isn't done
So I wait
All the time unaware
That his jacket is straight
And the sun isn't coming or
If it is I can't tell
And my world's filling up
Like it rains in the well
And the outside the outside
Just keeps coming in
And the colds overtaken
I'm ice all within
And a voice come from somewhere
Has me somehow inspired
So I reach for the sun
But I'm too fucking tired
And my jacketed friend
Just keeps whispering to wait
And I've finally noticed
That his jacket is straight
But it's just so beautifully yellow and blue
And it assures me these walls help me live without you
