Me and your father acted like
We had it figured out at 10
And then later regretted it then
But what about us?
We reverse age
And we carry on
In an inverse cage
That we die in.
I wonder, are you happy?
Because I’m not
I’m not
I’m not
I can’t believe you are
If you are me
You wouldn’t be
Like a piece of me
That wants to see
All the reasons to be alive
Me and my daughters acted like
This shit isn’t the same as it’s always been
They’re wondering if it’s the boys
Or maybe their toys?
Or maybe it’s just their disposition.
Their little situ-fucku-ation
I’m sorry about your lives.
Because it’s mine.
And I can’t explain it to you right.
But it’s they, not us.
So that’s a plus.
I wonder, are you happy?
My daughters are not.
We’re not.
I can’t believe you are
If you are seeing me
You wouldn’t be
Like a piece of me
That wants to find
All the reasons to be alive
And we remember
How sweet you were
Our little mini us
And now you are us.
So that’s another plus.
So we’re working on it now
because we see the end
Because we made it so.
But at a cost
At all the lives we lost.
Who died to fear.
And I hope you held me dear.
And I wonder, are you happy?
Because I’m not
I’m not
I’m not
I can’t believe you are
If you are me
You wouldn’t be
Like a piece of me
That wants to see
All the reasons to be alive
I’m sorry
And we remember
How sweet you were
My little mini me
And now you are me.
so that’s a plus…
