the thing is you reap what you grow you're afraid of the upturned root and rightfully so it seems bigger from far away you've found what you're looking for now convince it to stay you may have to struggle not good at letting go not good at letting go so it slips away and you are left with rope-burn on your hands

wake up to a ten year day dream I'm a little young for a first time boy king caught in a kind machine skewing shape and color what's [indecipherable]
new shoes new luck can't forgive the kid for what grew up on arbitrary magic wake up to a far-off fake scream I'm a little young for that first grown up thing caught in a kind machine losing faith in balance the gears turn 'round soundlessly again no charge for that new shoes send more can't forgive the kid what for blind faith in arbitrary magic (I couldn't get up for less) (wake up you fool the thread's grown thin it slips away I hoped it wouldn't but what's a girl to do)

every day after school the boys come out of their shells calling out like crickets in the dark they browse like bookworms cotton dream wanna dance I wake up with candy underneath they seem sure that I'll like it but I don't touch that stuff I don't touch that stuff I caught a whiff from forty feet and then I'd had enough my kingdom for a sweet thing [...] what a simple world where you can reach out and touch things but with hands a sticky mess what's a girl to do grabby hands nice to meet you I'm all thumbs but willing to play nice I'll try anything once but I don't touch that stuff I don't touch that stuff I want it more than I can stand but that's just not enough I'd pull out all my hair strand by strand to get back to the girl who doesn't understand

made a lot of progress tripping on your own feet thank god for indecision make tracks at your own pace who would have warned you made a lot of money your sinecure's sure sweet those groans must mean it's funny throw stones on your own time who would have warned you you know by now what goes on at night when you're strung out make up another [...] pretend you know by now what goes up must come down in time

it's a dance that I don't know it's a fear that I don't know how to put up with still reacting much too slow straight to bed when the alarm goes off honey let the record show I did everything I could and more to no end I'm a sucker for it still it's a trance that I don't know how to slip out of not good at letting go not good at letting go so it slips away inevitably and what do you what do you have left

I wake up with you already on my mind touch things I only touch from time to time you can expect a call later you can expect it all later you're just a dream 'till then I hope that that's all right come this far just to blink twice dry eye's delight I'm liquid and the phone comes apart in my hand I'm sick with it but I have faith you'll understand maybe it's a lot for now maybe it's a lot you can expect a threat later I'll just need some pen and paper I haven't thought it through I hope that that's all right the last time we said good night I didn't mean it I didn't mean it I swear I swear I didn't mean it
