Red rover

The shiny metal in my hand

pressing temple

one two three

All gone

those feelings of inadequacy

I soar above the aunts of the earth

my body floats in between the stars

I make them my friends

We play red rover up on the horizon

I always seem to lose

Take me away to that spot in your chest

hold me so close, too close.

You burn

the dead are falling from the sky

Don’t fall with me

The stars they scream too loud for me

they would be too loud for you too

hold my cold hand

touch it to your cheek

Is it warmer now?

put it in the stove

Is it warmer now?

Take me away to that spot in your chest

Hold me

now let me go

"but no" you say

"Let me stay"

don’t stay

leave

your too hot for me

stop thawing

thawing

thawing me out.

i'm too warm now

i'm too warm now

i'm too warm now

i'm too...

follow me up to the stars and we can play red rover

red rover red rover send me over

and we can scream that they are too loud.
