Chin up.

With your eyes closed,
Watching a strange show.
Play out in your head,
But you were smiling somehow.

And your day froze,
And everyone in it.
Sat still as a rose,
But we were moving somehow.

Back to where we started,
Losing who we were,
Maybe we should only,
Tip a bottle back to keep us filled up.

Back to where we started,
Losing who we were,
Everybody knows that,
You’d break your neck to keep your chin up.

Open your eyes.
And the drops come,
And a snail raced down to your neck,
And looked up,
But you were smiling somehow.

Back to where we started,
Losing who we were,
Maybe we should only,
Tip a bottle back to keep us filled up.

Back to where we started,
Losing who we were,
Everybody knows that,
You’d break your neck to keep your chin up.
