The Whale Upstairs
it's too loud living in an apartment
The quiet truth of apartment living
is a lie in itself
Theres no quiet and theirs no peace
Its always there
a sound
a pulse
the whooshing of the dishwasher
the whirl of the neighbors washing machine
of course they have a dog
could you train it to be quiet
i think every time i hear it whine
stuck inside on this snowy day
the beast just wants to be free
to run in the woods and chase the birds
pacing the space of the floor upstairs
every step sounds like a stampede
i just want some quiet to hear my thoughts
but this is life in the city
a life full of noise
it's the hustle and bustle of everyday life
living in an apartment with a whale upstairs
