do not disturb

written by evan young, grant michaelson, megan neves

phone face down, buzzing against the table six missed calls in the space of a song just let me explain lights up the screen again different words, same hand on the latch i said no at one fourteen you wrote okay, then called at one fifteen an apology doesnt need a reply youre not sorry, youre trying to get inside

can we talk became answer me i read it. that was the answer.

do not disturb heard you do not disturb still no do not disturb hand off the handle do not disturb let it go

knuckles hit wood through the kick drum bleed once polite, then like you pay for the room im doing laps with my hand on the bolt like, what the fuck do you think this is you had the words. you had the time. you had the hallway and a working phone then the latch clicks, little metal cough stop fucking touching it. go home.

you dont get to wear the door out no does not get weaker with repetition

do not disturb heard you do not disturb still no do not disturb hand off the handle do not disturb let it go

last message. that makes four tonight. apparently last means until i get my way you changed the wording, not the answer you changed your tone and parked outside five minutes is not a smaller demand its five minutes too fucking many we are not misunderstanding you we just want you gone

we said no. take your hand off the door. dont try it again.
