this room needs to breathe

now we're breathing the same air
and I've made a point of asking for
a pollution free environment
you're the kind of opposite I didn't quite expect

I'm still reeling from the scent
of something I didn't want the pictures
on my wall
to imbibe
and tell youre secrets somewhere else
I'm going to find myself a safe place to hide

this is my small cry for help
I need something familiar in my life
other than the familiar that I've just met
and asked to "be my friend?"
we've started to scare of the normal kids
but isn't that how it always goes?

I don't like having an invasion
of the scariest kind
the kind that keeps my eyes moist
because I'm no longer alone and I have to
learn to live with someone who didn't
exist
until today
won't you come save me?

I smell hospital on his breath
and I want to go home
to the safest place I know
and keep my knees to my chest
and my wall to my back
as I ponder the existance of life outside
this state
this country
I'm so ready to find myself somewhere else

I'm going to wake up
and find
that the world is at my fingertips
and I'm going to find
that the world is the only thing
I'm going to need

I miss him already
because he's the only man I'll ever trust
