The anecdotes that I recite About the first half of my life Are shrouded in verisimilitude And now it feels naive to ask But do you think about when we were young? Would you say that we were happy? Because I barely remember Anything before my twenties When I think back I only see an apoplectic wreck Numb behind the eyes but scared to death
Still running away No closer to anything
So overcome with apathy I know that you can still see it I've been low for longer now Than I care to remember Just tell me when it's too close to home
Do you ever stop and wonder About how much you hurt your mother? The debt of love you owed For the blood that you borrowed Too great for you to ever repay
I have photographs of us when we were kids It's the only reason I know you existed You existed Your lips were pursed to stifle laughter Don't recall what happened after
So overcome with apathy I know that you can still see it I've been low for longer now That I care to remember Just tell me when it's too close to homeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
