Don't stand up

Don't stand up.
No, it's O.K.
Just think to know that I'm here
You're there, but that's alright.

Don't stand up,
I'll come get you
I'll mumble the words I should scream.
I'm here alone, but that's alright

Don't stand up,
It's harder if you try.
I can see you're feeling good,
You're happy, a house fire

Don't stand up,
I don't know that face
An expression of guilt? Blame?
I wouldn't blame you, anyway

Don't stand up,
let lethargy take its toll
Gun down the kids, they won't understand
Sleep around the town tonight.

Don't stand up...
I know you couldn't, if you tried.
Settle into the plague, keep it close
She'll be in town for a while.

Don't stand up, friends:
I'll open my own doors.
I know you're here, I feel it.
But I'm afraid I can't know it just yet.

Don't stand up,
Sometimes I wonder if I'm sane;
Then I grow up and go to bed
Keep a level head, don't tip the pot

Don't stand up,
I know you've grown tired of my complaints
I'll keep this one short:
I'm lost, not hurt, just confused.

Don't stand up,
It's not the same
I know it will be, soon.
4.7 isn't all too bad, really.

"Stand up, I'm not insane
Just tired.
Not insane...just tired
Not insane, just."
STOP
