about

this song is dedicated to my son

lyrics

i'm pondering these words for you
you can't quite say "i love you too"
but i am sure you mean it
when you sign back that you're finished
with the milk that you are holding
between two small hands and throwing to the ground

the halls are now your pasture
you're the wild prince of laughter
running circles around me
that must be how i used to be
now i'm picking up on little things that
take away small parts of me each week

every day you tread down your own path
through the grasses that we plant
down fields, the horizon is set on fire
and you're holding my hand

yeah, you love testing gravity and
holding everything you see
throwing pawpaws keys away when
elisi's eyes are turned away from you

inside your stash you have a
rubber band and blue pen cap
and several different books to read
in case there's an emergency
you're calling out my little tricks
and matching up your synapsis so quick

every day you tread down your own path
through the grasses that we plant
down fields, the horizon is set on fire
and you're two feet away

you have so much to learn
like bills and stress and getting burned
making big decisions
then turning to regret them
your heart shattering to pieces
with each failed attempt at life
you thought might turn out alright
if you just fix it by tonight
you'll get tired of the fight
and lose your better sight

you've got to look up
find your own place out there
squeeze yourself through
the gates of their starving snares

fight through the hatred
gather the evidence
proving that they took
away all your innocence

i never got to
i never worked it out
inside my head
i forgot how to get it out
through my mouth

every day you tread down your own path
through the grasses that we plant
down fields, the horizon is set on fire
and you're miles away
