I Dreamt of a Room with All My Friends I Could Not Get In

Sacrifice still, the breeze
Lay down in the heat and breathe out
Dishes in the sink
Garden overgrown with leaves
Everything in me now

Anything to keep you near
Anything to keep you
Standing in the door don't leave
Pull down every window penitently
We've grown a heavy summer heat

Stagnant with your unmet means
Please come back sweetheart
Please, I need this
Please don't leave
You said 'you're mine'

You said 'it's all fine'
Said 'it's my fault'
I believed it every time
You said take the time to learn
And put the extra work in first

Keep promises you made
Change how you behave
And everything you said reversed
All the things you did went backwards
Planted seeds there, never acted

Once they bloom, now they grow downward
In the dirt and tomb
How else is there to say it?
Last night when I slept
I dreamt about a room

Standing in the light
And everyone was there with you
And honestly, I love you
But it felt so good
Everyone was laughing

Everyone at least passed through
Everyone we know
And not a single one remembered you anymore
Or any time before
Members of your family too

Everyone you love forgot
Or never met you
And I dreamt about it too
Walking down the hall
Came upon a door
Open to a room

Where you and all my friends were
Standing in the light
I tried to get inside
Fumbled with the key and turned it

Spun in circles
Through the glass, I saw their faces
Thrown back in laughter
And it rattled in my head
I woke up in the bed
I pulled you close to me and slept

And you're getting up to leave
I'm standing at the door
I'm staring at the creek
There's water underneath the floor

I'm an unresolved chord
A rhyme left incomplete
A room without a key
I lost it but you see
I kick death

I scream at the door
I'm a garden full of weeds
A dish left in the sink
A room without a breeze
The suffocating heat around me

In the ground now
Grown all backwards
Upside down and inside out
Let me go
Go hide in the garden for you
Up the wall to our window and through

In bed where I slept
And I dreamt of a room with my friend
I could not get in
Stronger in the stand now

Let me go
Crawl down that hallway again
Climb at the end
To the glass on the door
To see you and my friends

So let me see the room
So let me then bloom
Please let the flowers
Open up
Before I'm through
