Laika

This is quiet like sleeping
Like a padded dream
Like a movie with the sound down
No sigh and no scream
Just this slow-mo heartbeat
This breath through my nose
Like a longing for trees
When the walls are too close
I am dizzy, I’m weightless
In this silicon cold
There’s no window to look out
Not the tiniest hole
I’m imagining voices
I am tryin' to keep sane
With the sound of my blood
Whispering in my veins
Someone give me a call
Someone switch on the light
Someone tear down the walls
Someone kiss me goodnight
I have memories of daylight
Of things I have known
There used to be someone
But they left me alone
Now it’s hard not to panic
It all happened so fast
With the sun coming closer
And the silence so vast
Someone give me a call
Someone switch on the light
Someone tear down the walls
Someone kiss me goodnight
