the dark rooming 

                                                               and this . . . 
                                                                                                    it must be a room
                                                                                              but no walls they appear
                                                                                          away             there off yonder
                                                                                    !up close all up around me!right here
                                                                                              is there a door somewhere
                                                                                                  with a knob and a key
                                                                                                  and a light to turn on
                                                                                                  to make it so i can see
                                                                                            who this somebody else other
                                                                                                  ‘sides the one i call me 

so i just stay on like this
‘cause it easy to do
keep everything it the same
like how i been used to
and just so long as it stay dark
wont be no need that i see
or that i worry ‘bout who running
                     in here                               alone
                          ‘side of me
