The Upstairs Museum

When did you know that you
Were sealed inside that room?
Upstairs, evening light
Strip mall off to the side

Maybe there's something else
Weird doorknob-shaking hell?
Wide room, western sea
Wide angle dim light creeps

That heirloom dresser there
Sits and swallows up the stairs
Too big to take it out
Stay forever in heaven house

In some forgotten hall
Something walks behind the wall
Slipping security
Worst dreams find peaceful sleep

Last day that you're around
On your back to hold it down
Wake up before it's dawn
Or the next world comes
And it takes you with it!
