Ventriloquist

A call from out the window

A shirt I never cleaned

Sat in my apartment patiently

A coat I couldn't take off

A dog I couldn't leave

Do you ever get the feeling

Everyone is staring at me?

An overcrowded train ride

A friend I couldn't meet

A stranger stood behind me quietly

Something on my face

That you and I can't see

Do you ever get the feeling

Everyone is staring at me?

A dust that lines the handle

A longing set of keys

Another blind excuse to never leave

And everything I hated

Was all I couldn't be

Do you ever get the feeling

Everyone is staring at me?

But I'll

Make this walk look easy

Make today look easy

Make it all look easy

For you
