The moment I walked in
I could feel that this was not another dead room
It was alive a single heart beating and there you stood
For once I could ignore
The low frequency tension in the air

I get the most claustrophobic feeling
Looking in your endless eyes
It’s where I want to live it’s who I want to be
And if there’s a certain stutter in my speech, a detached step I hesitate to take
It’s just me tripping over myself to heal your wounds so one of us can be complete

The cobwebs are suddenly clear
      I’m left with no excuse
There never was an excuse for me
I am just so overcome by your simple honesty

The Mongrel cat came home, Holding half a head proceeded to show it off to all his new found friends
