"would you believe that i sleep like this? would you believe in a secret beauty?"

I have three different names for it.

You.

the cloud thing.

and

an elevator's uppercut.

Which one would you like to hear first?

"An elevator's uppercut."

     The doors opened and I walked right in.
     Everything normal nothing crazy.
     I pushed Eleven and I woke up four hours later.
     I was lying on the floor and my blood was lying next to me.

"The Cloud Thing"

     Ten chefs jumped out the window right on cue.
     Another day, another dollar at Winston Feldham's Hole Factory.
     Would you like to see how holes are made?
     
     Yes, I would like to see how HOLES ARE MADE
     No
     Not even for a soda?

"You"

You are being a completely new person.
I'm not proud of it.
But I will talk about it.
Only behind your brand-new back.
and out of earshot.
Lungshot.
and i've only got

One shot
at this thing.

     You and what you've been being.

Okay, now you know the three names I have for it. You
now know what
those three names contain within them.
Is there another thing that
you're ready for?
