lyrics

Sai fill in the blanks with
Movies she’s seen, and works of fiction
All words are spoken by
“Characters,” for ease of description
She’s asleep all the time
Sleeps at the bottom of her sadness
Makes lists of cute things to
Self-distract, and tries to be a magnet
For all of the particles of dreams
That make you a happiness machine

Unthinking, space melting
No need for all of these defenses
She’s filled with endlessness
Until she comes back to her senses

Then spends the day trying to ignore
The fact that she’d rather be a corpse
And doesn’t have energy to dream
Of being a happiness machine.
