Oh come on child, stand still on stilts and walk around my head and I don't know where you wandering off to now
and I don't have sense of pride keep knocking myself down a step or two
it's just my genetics my father did it as well I guess I'll forget
what we had dismissed, it'll be alright baby, I'm still here to tell you this
I'm still here to tell you to quit while your ahead
No one should promise you it'll be alright, it's all a lie
but we'll be here, when you die
around this coherent thought
of I hate myself, does it suddenly brighten up
and it goes down talking to itself, talking, talking,
to itself till dawn
I gotta hold on to my tongue
gotta swallows till its gone
I gotta swallow my tongue
I gotta swallow
I gotta swallow my tongue
I gotta, gotta swallow my tongue
and by the way
it was already discussed and planned
it brought down my confidence
and your wondering why I'm so upset and sad
in these numerous days
all things are always in one focus, they could be anything other
so why would you interpret anything different
anything different
your gonna twist your own tornado
your gonna spin our odds in the coming storm
under the thick, black blanket of god
he said he'd show me the light
he said its gonna be a long time
the lights bound to be a long time
the lights gonna be a long time
a few weeks or so maybe a couple decades or more
the lights gonna be a long time
what is in you that makes, you lecture in my opinions
and if I'm off half a degree, I want you to tell me
A whole new latitude and longitude
to correct me in my meandering
I don't need the sentences, I can read it in your breathing
I don't see how you walk on stilts still all day, night, and on into the morning
lord is this the real honesty
I couldn't agree more
anymore
teach me solve and understand
you don't have to take it that far kid
you will love
I imagine you will love again
you will love again.
