Narcolepsy Weed

Sarah Slean

Look at you

Broken bird

Narcolepsy weed

Highway-side

Like a puppet cut

You can't wake

I can't sleep



And now they've got you

Stealing cars and chasing lullabies

How will I drag you out of motel daydreams

When will you realize?



I don't make sugar promises

Like dandelion seeds

Lying still

With open palms

I'm only watching you breath



They talk like they know

Like they believe

But I'd bet the brotherhood

That if they found you here

They'd leave



Oh good day orphan town

Peace is raining down

Warm your hands

On my shoulder blades

My parents gave me this peace

Who we are is how we love

That is all I need



So tell the morning

Night is lifting

And mauve is moving in

Like the steam that rises

From the garden beds

Your pain finds the wind



Oh

Good day orphan town

Peace is raining down

Good day orphan town

Peace is raining down
