The ants forage around
The birds sing a tune
The ducks dip their heads in the water
And I sit in a room
The mighty lions stalk prey
The big ol' bears pick berries
The monkeys throw feces at each other
And I sit in a room
The microscope reveals a world
The chemist discovers a cure
The inventor plays a certain way
The telescope is made
The cosmos crash together
A supernova ensues
The stars gleam proudly with infinite hues
And I sit plainly in a room
I sit in the dark
I live in fantasy
"I'm a bright, lively man"
But I'm cold as can be
I love my mom
And I love my dad
My love doesn't stretch
Far beyond that
I once loved a girl
Well, maybe two or three
Now one is dead
The rest a hazy memory
I once loved some friends
And I left them all too
Now I waste away here in this room
They walk in one day
Hands grasp the doorknob
Turning, turning, breathing, turning
Pushing, creaking, entering, revealing
A room with many things
None seeming too alive
But a peculiar figure sat with a face maligned
Waxified skin drooling down
And some bones protruding out
Stiff as a metal rod
Decaying aimlessly
Alone
