lyrics

back in second grade,
we traced our hands on cardboard stock
and kept alive the dream
of dancing on the salted earth.

then in seventh grade,
grateful for the facade i kept up
and looking forward to when
the hairs begin to tickle at my throat.

and in senior year,
excused myself to go cry outside
as the image of a pleasant life
began to fade behind me.

and two yeas ago,
"what once was unified
will soon be lost,"
exclaimed the albatross.

and now, thankless as i am
about the meaningless conventions
that i'm stuck living with,

i can sit
and bow my head
and contemplate the memories
of the kid who brought me here;

i can sit
and bow my head
and appreciate the kindness
that kept me better here
than dead.
