Sunflower, Are You There?

Take me to the roof
I wanna hear the sound
Of what a broken heart does
When I fling it to the ground

Save for the waning moon
There's no one else around
I know that I'm asleep when
All my teeth come falling out

And all the walls
Come caving in
I make the jump from so high

And wake up in my bed
A song stuck in my head
From all the kids out on the stoops they're singing

Sunflower
Are you even really in there?

Sunflower
Are you really hanging in there?

Ever since you left
I've wanted to drop dead
The words you said are scattered out onto the pavement

You find me in my room
Standing on my head
Because I like to let the blood rush to it


How do I sleep without having a dream where I don't wake up?
Where the kids still sing, the pendulum swings, the grass pushed up
