Laughing And Crying

I was preparing for what already happened and when it happened I was well rehearsed 
They had my key 
My key to my house 

Quiet as a mouse 
Lips over teeth 
Fingers over mouths 

Marching us down the stairs 
I remember the eyes 
All tied up like Christmas gifts 

Bad dawn 
Too upsetting to see 
I scared myself when I caught myself laughing 
No sleep feeling, like when the Australian demanded to be hospitalized 

All in all, I ran from something else, but something else went there instead 
In the uncanny repetitions we'll be headed that way once again
