A smooth door paler than the light
That lies limp across your face
Blocks the sounds
That ring behind two coats of white paint
Covering a pastel pink
They’re out there waiting
To grip your inner ear
And pull you through
A sunburn that refuses to peel
Sits on my arm and shows the way around
A smooth door is in rough skin and triangles
They’re out there waiting
To grip your inner ear
And pull you through
Balance is a secret question
Asking you to lose your voice
If you try and hold it
It will hide the world from your eyes
Sit still, and without speaking
Tell yourself just what you hear
Stand up, and without moving
Walk away from what you fear
