Mother told me forget what they said
And father’s wise words “Be you instead.”
Being the one who feels drifted apart
From the burden of those whose morals depart
Playing the odd role in which I’m defined
I’ll search for their chapter, the same as mine
I’ll light up the sun, while you catch the stars
When the heavens clear up, we can meet by Mars
It’s funny to think, with a world so small, I don’t even know who you are
A catalyst sings to a reaction inside
That draws your heart closer to mine
Like the mystic hand, that guides this song
It binds us to who we really are
And how we sound
A melody shrieks upon the frets we used to know
Our hearts cried out and our stomachs shown
The lullaby screams of which the forms we are suppose to keep
It's all we ever know It's all we ever seek
All I ever dream is to be their everything
And I’ll be their anything in rhyme
But every fucking time I fall down and feign death inside
And cry out to a god to which the skies reply
Little bird you’ll fly away, your cage door fades today
Realm the skies and meet your flock
Find the one who will own your heart
And make it sing.
