In a town of idle minds
Where daydreams filled the space
Between our simple dramas
And my mom was strange
But she'd always liked to sew
And my clothes smelled like
The room I was born in
And my dad was calm
Never used two words when one'd do
And my brother's hands were mischief bent
With no will to stop 'em
And on the whole
We lived simply and day-to-day
Our fears were trivial
They always died with every sunset
When I was twelve
My affliction came to light
And I was told that some things I heard
Were only there in my head
But I couldn't tell
Which were real and which were now
And the question loomed over all I did
Whether I could trust it
And I guess over time
It became too much
And I was sent away
At my mom's behest
'cause she'd grown to fear me
Now I live up north
In the house for the broken heads
And my father comes and visits me
Whenever he can afford it
Sometimes at night
When the voices quiet down
I find I hope that I am missed
And that they haven't forgot me
My life started slow In a town of idle minds Where daydreams filled the space Between our simple dramas And my mom was strange But she'd always liked to sew And my clothes smelled like The room I was born in And my dad was calm Never used two words when one'd do And my brother's hands were mischief bent With no will to stop 'em And on the whole We lived simply and day-to-day Our fears were trivial They always died with every sunset When I was twelve My affliction came to light And I was told that some things I heard Were only there in my head But I couldn't tell Which were real and which were now And the question loomed over all I did Whether I could trust it And I guess over time It became too much And I was sent away At my mom's behest 'cause she'd grown to fear me Now I live up north In the house for the broken heads And my father comes and visits me Whenever he can afford it Sometimes at night When the voices quiet down I find I hope that I am missed And that they haven't forgot me Explain Request ×
