When youre with the trees and grass
The magic always seems to last
And how you love to take your daughter there
And replace your worries with the air
Its easier to stick with
What youve got and take the hit in
All the forms of prescribed medicine
Sunlight just aint getting in
Did you miss a right hand turn?
Its always harder to be loved when you love suffering
Have you seen your younger pictures
With unborn brothers and dead sisters?
Even though theyre shot on black and white
Your eyes have never been so bright
I wonder if you dream
And if you do, what do you see?
Are there a thousand childhood memories?
Suppressed Jungian shadow aspect vulnerabilities
Its not easy
Do you wake to feel the day?
Or do you wake to get paid?
You didnt listen
Youre in a game
You could say that it has meaning
But that sentiment is fleeting
When theres mortgages around your neck
And your wife is sleeping with her ex
Part of you doesnt mind
Cause theres a bounce in her step
She wears her favourite yellow summer dress
And makeup saved for Sunday best
But the saddest thing of all
Is that its for another lover in another bed
Someday it will all be over
You were fearful, now youre older
And entirely dependent
On the people you neglected
What if theres no final answer?
The existential disaster
Could you learn to love this precious life
Before its too late?
