I stumbled into the Christmas tree
I guess I lost track of the date
but someone must be stopping by and leaving questions for me
because I'd never leave the furniture in my own way
I thought you oughta know
that when I opened the door
it wasn't fun anymore
It spiraled into my brain
and brought me down to the floor
But in the wake of the pain
there's solace in the mundane
Don't bring me down
I can't tell if my eyes are closed
or if the light is off or if my sight is gone
I can't see my hand feeling around for the switch
I can't feel my eyes on my face or my hand on my wrist
I thought you oughta know
that when you're searching for proof
you'll meet an amateur sleuth
with an inquisitive grin
You have to tell me the truth
Despite my admonition
the answers locate therein
Don't bring me down
You oughta know
that when you open the door
it won't be fun anymore
It spirals into your brain
and makes the synapses short
but in the midst of the pain
there's pleasure in the insane
Don't bring me down
No one has to know

Thomas of Carol Cleveland Sings graciously allowed me to use the first verse from his song "Blink At Surprise" in the song "Target." Fine frenetic bedroom pop, the nicest Geoff you'll ever meet. OK Glass
