Sometimes I wish I could go back to when I was a kid again
And be blind to this messed up world we're living in
But I know this can't be so I do my best to cope
Control my impulses before I start to choke
On all the frustration I feel building on my throat
They got our backs up against the ropes
One more push and it's gonna be the final poke
It is time we all start to sing a different note
We are running out of time it feels like the end is close
I'm just trying to make it long enough to watch some grand kids grow
I ask the world because I just have to know
How long are we gonna hold onto the hate and when can we let it all go
Don't tell me this madness will last forever
Somebody please tell me it isn't so...

Music is my strongest scent
When the softest tune
Triggers all of what it meant
To come to grips with the end of sentiment
I traveled far in this bed
Came to a tunnel
At the end of my head
And in the light I saw a dream
Where I froze all memory
In a tray next to my hearts glow and gleam
I pull it out when the melody begins
Love letters and holiday inns
Cubes of desire in glasses of gin
In dreams, in misfortune I try to melt
All of which your heart ever felt

You're supposed to make me feel
Safe and secure.
You're supposed to help me through
The good and the bad.
My shoulders to cry on,
The ones I can always rely on,
Ones that will never judge me,

But I guess that I will never fit the stereotype of
*"One, big, happy family"
