For three days everything came up
Nothing stayed down just a shuddering sound
They gave you a test and you might've passed
But they sent us right back into the black
At home i find your favorite show
Look in your face look at my phone
Down an endless rabbit hole
I'm just pulling a string you never should pull
But you don't notice
And you don't protest
When i say it's time
We get through dinner
And at bath you shiver
And shake until you're dry
You fall asleep too easily
And you breathe in air
That I wish i could see
At dawn i'm camping at your feet
I fetch your cereal bowl
And your father texts me
And the hours scrape along
We play a memory game my memory's strong
So when that call comes
I press that icon
And listen carefully
They want you right back
'Cause the numbers are bad
But somehow incomplete
The blood just drains right out of me
Thick with cells
That i never could clean
Waiting in the waiting room
It's just quiet enough for me to review
Every surface every spoon
All that you might've touched or maybe consumed
Every surface every spoon
Window at home door in your school
Every blessed molecule
Where'd it get it what did i do
And down the hallways
There is always
One more turn to take
Solutions mix
And the broken get fixed
If they don't fade away
And i'm surrounded
By announcements
Promising repair
But slipped or chosen
Blood or poison
Could be anywhere
It's everywhere
So don't be scared
It's everywhere
