What’s Out There
Nina Nastasia
An empty space
A new beginning working made it, nothing saved
A wall, a window
A natty garden turning hotly in the heat
Creeping and green... wild and unseen
If I could go back in time
If I could be real mean
Would I ever think to leave
Is there anyone like me
I'd put a mask on, for the atmosphere out there
Could kill me
What you have won:
You want the air to be easy to breathe
We had a plan, a way to drown out
The howling in the street
Now everything I know
Everything I know is
...strange...
An idle table
You need a friend to come to visit
Ring a friend
Oh window, window
I want to smash you out
A light above me
A light above me, and still I don't feel safe
Oh window, window
I have to smash you out
And let in something mean
Let in something
