Im the small child in the bathtub,
Who cannot yet swim and is sinking.
I gather myself-
I pull out the plug,
Cause I know that there’s nobody coming.
I’m not on their mind.

Just nevermind.

All my stumbling to their entertainment,
At my bedside they’ll throw forth their flowers.
I’m glad there’s a stage wall between us
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve showered
And I know they’d mind.

But never mind.

I’m burden tied.
To a pulling tide.
To a dock I cannot see that sits 5000 miles away.

And mom I’m tired,
My arms are tired,
I dont think I’ll learn to float and I don’t have the words to pray,
don’t think that I can stay to try to change-
Can’t try to change your ways-
Can’t change your mind
I know you
You are my kind

So never mind.
