Milk

Thick-skinned chameleon

Climbs the curtains hanging on the wall

The only living ghost to grace the hall

Meanwhile on the battlefield

Another soldier boldly bites his tongue

The only noble thing he's ever done

Step one: wake up

Now open your eyes

Now float to the window

Open the blinds

Now never mind

The cold shiver on your over-exposed spine

Still lying on the bed where you left it

Soaking up the sleep from the mattress

And that's it

Feel your way to the kitchen

Bring the milk to a simmer

Spill the sugar on the surface of the counter

Thin-skinned calcium sipper

Thin-skinned calcium sipper

Thick-skinned chameleon

Now open your eyes

Now hanging on

The only living ghost to grace the hall

Meanwhile on the battlefield

Another soldier lying on the bed

Soaking up the sleep from

The only noble ghost to grace the hall

And that's it

Feel your way to the kitchen

Bring the milk to a simmer

Spill the sugar on the surface of the counter

Thin-skinned calcium sipper

Thin-skinned calcium sipper
