When This Is Over

I wake up

Beside you, in mom's car

I try to get you out,

You're strapped to the backseat

I am too.

The car is rolling down to water.

Why are we

Strapped to our seats,

Trapped,

What did we do?

I cleaned my room just as she asked me to.

Filling up, dirty water,

My chin's up, going under.

You're still asleep, baby brother.

I'll wake you up when this is over.

The car is rolling down to water.

Why are we

Strapped to our seats,

Trapped,

What did we do?

I brushed my teeth just as she asked me to.

This is it, baby brother,

One more breath togther

We're almost underwater

Where is mom?

I miss her.

The car has rolled into the water.

Why are we dying in this way,

What did we do?

I was nice to him,

Her boyfriend, this is stupid

When people come to search the lake

We'll be found in our pajamas

They will see

A big mistake is all that this must be.
