If I’m told to wait forever
then I’ll wait until I die
sad thought that is
to give it up for a waste
a taste of something
the one thing
I want
I’ll fly
I’ll cry
but I’ll be all right

I’m gonna drag you through the cleaners
wonder if “deep clean” can fix your mess
can I bleach the grime and rust away?
when is the last time you used this thing?
or gave it some fresh air
or took it out for a spin
or felt anything at all
It’s a shame to let it waste away in here
does it even still work?
WD-40 and duct tape should get it going
… It explains a lot though
you’ve been reckless
apathetic
the world doesn’t exist
So, you’ve kept it locked up in here.
too long
let it waste and decay
No worries though
I can get the stains out.
I’ll drag you through the cleaners.
