I don’t want to be heard I want to be listened to Does it bother anyone else That someone else has your name?
I scream, you scream We all scream ’cause we’re terrified Of what’s around the corner We stay in place ‘Cause we don’t want to lose our lives So let’s think of something better.
Down in the forest, we’ll sing a chorus One that everybody knows Hands held higher, we’ll be on fire Singing songs that nobody wrote.
My brain has given up White flags are hoisted I took some food for thought It might be poisoned The stomach in my brain Throws up on to the page Does it bother anyone else That someone else has your name?
Quickly moving towards a storm Moving forward, torn In to pieces over reasons Of what these storms are for I don’t understand why everything I adore Takes a different form when I squint my eyes Have you ever done that When you squint your eyes And your eyelashes make it look a little not right And then when just enough light Comes from just the right side And you find you’re not who you’re suppose to be? This is not what you’re suppose to see Please, remember me? I am suppose to be King of a kingdom or swinging on a swing Something happened to my imagination This situation’s becoming dire My treehouse is on fire And for some reason I smell gas on my hands This is not what I had planned. This is not what I had planned.
