Well hello twenty four Didn’t hear you knocking at my door Woke up to happy birthday baby Me wondering where good morning went Out the door to early you just missed him Dancing in the breeze on a whim Here I am now twenty four No surprise, there’s still skeletons beneath the floor The darkness didn’t go away Like we had hoped Getting older doesn’t cure it Just makes it easier to hide Still wish I had died Yet here we are at twenty four In the dessert heat No reprieve from the sun But the suns healing And the healings only begun So much left to do With no idea how to start Just hoping that I can find my heart Buried it years ago Now at twenty four Hoping I can find it, when I open the right door
