When your eyes were more glossy and more dead
Than the toys in my hand and the dust in the air
I held them and could imagine
They loved me instead

"You're such an old soul"
I am 5 and I am tired
My feet drag behind me and my eyes have been wired
She fell asleep in the tub again
I can't bathe, can't shower
She's dragging me down with her
I have no power
