Lyrics

I'm Alittle: To Be Recorded

Don't stop ticking
Could I be the staple in your hour?
Is it tonight that the flame went out?
Shattered like a broken teapot
On the kitchen floor
Scattered all over
The checkered decor
You bend down and clean up the mess
Avoid cutting up you knees in the process
Is life is so simple than why are we here?
Do we let you go and be scared of your fear?
A mistake is small
Tack it on the wall
Act like it's no big deal at all
Learn from the lesson
Let yourself pour
Nothings really indigenous anymore
And all we've ever sought
Is grounded up with a side of wild rice
So let's turn in for the night
Hoping that hall light will suffice
But then I'd see
And once I'd realize
That everything changes
And grows to an extent
Too big for the mind to hug
But no way to notice
Like missing an appointment
The sun rises on a superhero like you
And I want her to be OK
But somebodies work through many things
Other bodies only wait
I remember you and your thick apple pies
I remember your depiction of the sky
And he was there wearing brown slacks
A sun blocking hat and a plaid jacket
These thoughts are so real to me
And I wasn't even born yet
But then I'd see
And once I realize
That everything changes
And grows to an extent
Too big for the mind to hug
But no way to notice like missing an appointment
When you get there
He'll say this place is pretty bitchin'
Your new home with a soul front door
Soul living room, soul floor
