What did we learn today No place lasts forever No one lives forever Neither Your feet are wet with paint You'll learn to walk a portrait Learn that outside voices, inside are lethal I broke that chair so fast I must weigh a ton I must think a ton These thoughts should be illegal If I am wholly good A diamond chandelier If light refracts through all of me How can it be that parts of me are evil? It's really not that bad, it's just a summer fad Light is temperamental in the south of jersey There's nothing to wake up for Still, today I wake up early Today I wake up early You never woke up, curious where this goes Eight or Nine or Ten A brick thrown at his head Thank god it missed and hit his tiny legs instead Now do you feel guilty Top down when he drives Every parking lot is empty It's the only thing that makes him feel It makes him feel alive It's really not that bad I patched things up with dad As far as we could go Before it got too awkward, before it got too sad We talked about your daughter We talked about your body We talked about your test scores We talked about potential We talked about potential We talked until we figured That none of that's essential That none of that is worthy Of carving into marble Of carving in two You were just born, now you've got a kid An angel crawls on earth to reach you, to teach you You're not just born, with happiness You learn it everyday, so pull through, pull me through too You were just born, now you've got a kid An angel crawls on earth to reach you, to teach you You're not just born, with happiness You learn it everyday, so pull through, pull me through too
