Dear darlin'
your mom
my friend
left a message
on my machine
She was frantic
saying you were
talking crazy
That you
wanted to do
away with yourself
I guess she thought
I'd be a perfect resort
'Cause we've had this
inexplicable connection
since our youth
And yes
they're in shock
they are panicked
you and your chronic
them and their drama
You this embarrassment
us in the middle
of this delusion...
If we were our bodies
if we were our futures
if we were our defences
I'd be joining you
If we were our cultures
if we were our leaders
if we were our denials
I'd be joining you
I remember vividly
a day years ago
We were camping
you knew more
than you thought
you should know
You said "I don't want
ever to be brainwashed"
And you were
mindboggling
you were intense
you were uncomfortable
in your own skin
You were thirsty
but mostly you were
beautiful...
If we were our nametags
if we were our rejections
if we were our outcomes
I'd be joining you
If we were our indignities
if we were our successes
if we were our emotions
I'd be joining you
You and I we're like
four year olds
we want to know why
and how come
about everything
We want to reveal
ourselves at will
and speak our minds
And never talk small
and be intuitive
and question mightily
and find God
My tortured beacon
we need to find
like-minded companions
If we were their
condemnations
if we were their
projections if
We were our paranoias
I'd be joining you
If we were our incomes
if we were our obsessions
if we were our afflictions
I'd be joining you
We need reflection
we need
a really good memory
feel free to call me
a little more often
