Favor & Fiction - Into It. Over It.

Measuring miles

stretching arms across the floor

It makes you wonder what you need all that carpet for

Leaving the patterns of your evenings beneath your feet

Existing on repeat

Face to the glass from inside looking out

A window’s view from outside looking down

Hiding your health from those around the house

King and his crown

Crown’s hanging upside down

I made sure you were sedated

Agreed to carry you across town

And imagined you like new

nodding off to the hum of a false alarm

I’m too uptight to believe half the things I hear

I’ll spin a trip to intensive care

A waiting room

patience wearing thin

Breathe out and breathe in

Prescribe a prescription of favor and fiction

I made sure you were sedated

Agreed to carry you across town

And imagined you like new

nodding off to the hum of a false alarm

I relayed that you’re sedated

I tried to carry you across the room but stalled

You were sprawled out and reckless

Seemingly weak but convincingly strong

It seems that everything is wrong
