hi hello how are you
im doing alright, thanks for asking
hows stuff going on with you
there's something i want to ask
but i'm not sure how to say.. what to say
so maybe not today

I've got some push pins in a little doll of me
trying to kill the anxiety
(don't you see?)
paper cuts all over my fingers
trying to fold my dear sweet symphonies
my deep dark lonelies

bye bye, good bye, so long
what a nice conversation
just one more to bring down my elation
guess my smiles do enough to hide
the state of consciousness from my eyes

I'll walk away with callouses
bare foot in the rain
sure it might seem a little mundane
nothing else occupies my time
except for cleaning off these wounds with iodine

===================================

were you ever one of those,
two foot tall bodies of curiosity
who thought that the angels hid in between clouds
or maybe dreamt one day to be an ice cream man,
firetruck, or a pink little kitty cat?

were you ever one of those who imagined
for wild things to happen in your fragile little world
where giants scolded you for jumping off the couch
and trying to fly like superman

but then you grew up and started eating your vegetables,
discarded little packs of sugar highs

do you remember when you found out
that cartoons weren't real?
santa claus, easter bunny, and the tooth fairy
were cruel tall tales...

to prevent our minds from coming down
just to let our minds keep floating
higher and higher and higher...

until you're older.. they like to see
all these fanciful follies you believed
come crashing down just like your imagination
come crashing down just like your imagination
cuz when you're older you're a lot taller
and now you fall a little harder
