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

Lyrics

Sacrifice Still the breeze Lay down in the heat and breathe out Dishes in the sink Garden overgrown with weeds 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 weak Heavy summer heat Stagnant with your unmet needs 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 You'd take the time to learn You'd 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 Planting seeds there Never acted Once they bloomed Now they grow downward in the dirt Entombed How else is there to say That last night when I slept I dreamt about a room Standing in the light And everyone was there but 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 And members of your family too Everyone you loved Forgot or never met you And I dreamt about it too Walking down the hall Came upon a door Opened 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 a 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 line left incomplete A room without a key I lost it, but you see I kick and 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 Grow high 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 friends I could not get in Stronger in the stem 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 To let me see the room To let me then bloom Please let the flowers open up before I'm through
