My father said believe in nothing My mother told me everyone will do you wrong I thought to be taught a wise lesson Sang along this song for far too long Wasn't sure I'd know how to forget or how to move on
My father cried only once My mother never stopped her tears Are we just vessels to be filled with our forerunners' endless fears Of a life that is begging to be lived Just to be dead on arrival at the piers
My aunt said do what's asked of you In the end no one could tell me how it's done I jumped off the boat of broken ones and got washed up at distant shores unknown Though since then I saw many bright suns never has anything clear been shown
Endless days of wondering endless ways to go on pretending always kneedeep in my head, always pondering and how fiercely I'd like to be defending the fragile insides of my chest but I let them keep plundering hearts and hopes are constantly breaking and mending
To this shell I'm bound for now my heart is cold and my ghost is still in awe of what I haven't found sitting on my mind's windowsill wishing for a wind of change. May it be profound.
