Lone Planet

As I hovered in the background

Wishing I could just disappear without a trace, I

Heard an unexpected sound

It was coming from beneath my chest

And so I pried it open and there I saw

There was a planet where my heart should be

You should have seen it

Plants and sands and seas

Someone there was calling out to me

I'm out here doing the best I can

Like you told me to

Like you want me to

But I'm lonely and I need a friend

Look at all this space

I saved you a place

You keep saying you will understand

When you're older now

I guess you're old enough

If you don't wake up this won't mean a thing

But what a pleasant dream

This whole life has been

As I made my way around the room

Drifting out to any open mouth that would allow me

Felt I should be going soon

There was nothing much to talk about

Yet everyone was shouting, so I ate the food

And I drank the drinks

But all the while I felt for something

Whirring inside my chest

I took it out and there it span about

I'm out here doing the best I can

Like you told me to

Like you want me to

But I'm lonely and I need a friend

Look at all this space

I saved you a place

Maybe someday you will understand

When you're older now

I guess you're old enough

If you don't wake up this won't mean a thing

But what a pleasant dream

This whole life has been

I've been here just trying to do my best

Isn't that what you told me I should do?

But I cannot do this by myself

You like it lonely like I like you only

And everyone you know is here I guess

All your friends arrived

I saved you a spot

It is getting dark inside this chest

But what a pleasant life

This whole dream was
