"Melanie"

melanie comes home early every night
writes a poem to pass the time
thinking everything is empty
she feels things turning worse

melanie wants to save the world
a busted bulb that needs to shine
the view is different from down here
she feels a natural thorn in her side

melanie puts on her favorite song
a brand new stranger in every room
human nature with a fading thirst
she didn't see it coming now it's gone

melanie turns off the light
she dreams to save her life
