Water Torture

Got that catatonic feeling
And I'm drooling on the TV
Every now and then I think
How long have you been gone
And where's those groceries?

I'll be discovered by explorers
My body fossilized in torpor
And all the while
My thoughts repeat like
Chinese water torture

When you are gone I tend to ramble on for days
It doesn't mean, it just helps me to keep my place

Time itself is flattened
You come back it never happened
Except that now
Old man replaced your lover
All featureless and fattened

In disbelief at your misfortune you say
Hell I was only gone the weekend
And then I burst to flames
You see I've lived entire lives
In a single a moment

You see, when you are gone the lights go off and on all night
The neighbors talk while I stand listless in my socks
Until I disappear from sight

Got that cataclysmic feeling
Babies crawling on the ceiling
And now I think
Maybe we should start a family
