Turn on the light
|
so it burns in the night
|
turning down the flay
|
the world is uncertain
|
I'm certained by the curtains tonight
|
You will not know but grow
|
We will not dare, we'll always care and ply with your hair
|
|
Got to reverse the pattern
|
What's the worse that could happen?
|
For the first time in my adulthood
|
The worse that could happen
|
Is utterly unthinkable, sinking unsaid dread
|
Suddenly I'm worried about the bread under the bed
|
But then all sort of awful shit seem plausible indoors
|
Proportions get "walked" in to the worse, and for certain
|
You're growing thumbs
|
I'm growing numb
|
"totting" to your mom's lips like it might be quite fun
|
|
A blip on a screen
|
You don't know me
|
I think about you
|
And what you'll grow to be
|
|
Black and white blotches to watch and not get,
|
and the flashes of sense along with your body and head
|
It is all as simple as you think when you were little,
|
It is all as simple as me sinking a little drink
|
Your growing nails, Mine are so nailed
|
I'm drinking your mothers wine for both of us today
|
You don't know choice but you know my voice,
|
you should never have of chosen me I have love like a boy
|
The world's so dark sometimes, the noise of the cars
|
building a world up of toys and stars
|
|
A blip on a screen
|
You don't know me
|
I think about you
|
And what you'll grow to be
|
|
You'll dance on every song, foot fall every little move,
|
before you realize that every noise is not music
|
My dad raised these thoughts, he pastes these boards
|
I never knew I just grew that's all you can do
|
but then growing to an adult is just learning the language
|
of explaining with words what you were as a baby
|
You'll leisurely learn how to lie and pretend, to service your love and rely on your friends
|
this could be fraught but its all I got taught and I don't wanna make it up as I go along with yours
|
|
I fix and I plan
|
but this is just mad
|
I love you
|
You're only a 100 pixels on a scan
