"Is it true, did Nate really attack his biology professor? Why?

"The police said Nate attacked the professor in the man's basement, he was terribly confused

Why would he?

"Oh, Nate was unconscious when the police arrived, Claire
But he had his arms around a dress dummy and he had knocked all these mannequin heads on the ground
And apparently tried to scratch their eyes out but no one knows what really happened

How long has he been like this?

"A little over a week now, sometimes he wakes up but there's no one there
The doctor's say there's nothing wrong with him physically

Mother, Claire, Is that you? Where, where am I?

Sleep, sleep just like a dog underneath a falling log
Sleep, sleep just like a rat napping next to a hundred cats
Sleep, sleep just like a child sleeping on a sofa while his mother fades away
