Rented

My head is full
I got no more
Room for good ideas
I know when to run
When my time is done
Schedule is clear

It’s wonderful
Living with my mother
But I can’t understand
Why you put me here so fast
Without asking me anything

Red brick meet wet sand
I understand
Once belonged to a building
Black night meet white moon
Once filled our room
But our kingdom was
Rented

Our dog is for
Forever
That’s why I got him tattooed
My clothes are in Minnesota
But my body is unglued

It’s terrible
Fighting each other
But I can’t understand
Why you put me here so fast
Without asking me anything

Red brick meet wet sand
I understand
Once belonged to a building
Black night meet white moon
Once filled our room
But our kingdom was
Rented

Silence has a way
Of arriving unannounced
You put me on a plane
Like it was
Rinsing out your mouth

Tonight I’ll sleep
In a bed
That once held my head
Drunkenly kissing
Tomorrow I’ll be
Alone again
Counting my blessings
