If you can stay silent and perfectly still
I want to be you
No matter what seems to happen in the room
You are always in bloom
No matter what anyone tries to say to you
You've already proved
You'll light up a room, so nothing gets ruined...
But for the rest of us...
This is the Bent Lullaby
Just be careful not to cry
There is no good reason why
Just be careful not to try too hard
If you can stay unmoved and silent in your will
I want to be you
No matter anyone tries to do to you
You are always the mood
No matter what anyone has ever said about you
You've already proved
You'll light up a room, so nothing gets ruined...
But for the rest of us...
This is the book that you wrote
Just be careful not to hope
Trying to get you to fold,
Just be slow and gentle, please
If you can stay silent and perfectly still
I want to be you
No matter what seems to happen in the room
You are always in bloom
No matter what anyone tries to say to you
You've already proved
