Sock Drawer Blues
Hey mom look at me, no mismatched socks on my feetEverything's in perfect order, there's no chaos underneath this huge grinUh oh my sarcasm's been sightedBut once again it's looks to me like you need to be remindedAbout getting me after soccer practice, attach this note to your foreheadBut your reflection's been distortedEver since you lost sense of what's really importantI've been trapped by myself in this adolescent fortressWhat's in store for my mile stones?How come I think so adult?Why do I look around and see no one elseWhy do they obey like they were born robotsI can't do that, I fight back with glares and sidewalk cracksLife would be better if I could find this amusingBut every minute another war ends with me losingAnd I hate fighting, but I can't tell my relatives about the struggleThey expect me to have a high i.q and bruised knucklesLook at me...the superglue with disturbing ideasDetermined to let kids everywhere see me survive their fearsSaving my lunch money to buy a bus ticket to the land of no parentsThere I will be king and rule the voiceless victimsThey can't understand why medicine can't make me wholeAnd I'm only eight years old and let music heal my soulHey hey hey don't you step out of line young manLook into my eyes; do you even know who I am?Letras de cancionesAll of this and they have no idea that I exist in this skinEverything is figured out between my ears and withinI have the answer to humanities aching diseasesI can communicate with all of god's creaturesYet I still have recess and sit in front of this TVWaiting for the time to come when I can leave this helpless bodySo have your teacher conferences, and find a solutionBut I dare you all to find one respected institutionThat can understand how I feel, when I'm not even realAnd life is judged by their naive views and images they stealI don't use these ideas that my teachers can't relate toBecause I know there is no science to explain what I've been throughIn these short years my existence has become completely bareFrom having this curse till the first second I breathed airI dream in historic episodes that I never forgetAs if I'm being trained to understand what hasn't been found yetAll of this while eating breakfast at 7amWith the family surrounding the table ending with amenThey tell me to smile in school picturesBut I have nothing to smile about; my head has been saturated with questions marks and doubtsThat will obviously last years past my graduation and no kid will ever feel what I cant get away fromI want simple pleasures in bedtime and playing in the sunBecause I know the universe is coming down on everyoneAnd mom is late picking me up today, that figuresYou know it's embarrassing not to depend on what I have to live withI wish I could tell them that none of it mattersThey believe that dumbing down hides them as really good actorsPlaying the role of parents but I see them as temporary teachersProviding me with reason to hide from the miracle seekersThey use this as a reason to thank god and ask for repentanceCause I am not the cause for them to finish their sentenceIt's the total understanding of all that's existedMy feet walk to a different theme, lifted on a pedestal by invisible stringsThe wood sings when I climb the walls, writing the meaning of life in crayons until the night fallsI understand what life is and what it has to offerBut I've been deprived of shape to stand at the altarMy years last three times as long, my body will never catch up to my mindAct like toys and video games excite me and I play like its all fineI hear them talking around me as if I don't understandUsing words in-correctly and lying about their fellow manThere's no prophecy in my voice and even if there was I wouldn't careI've been given the gift of healing but have no one to share withPrepare for the future as I live the normal routineFooling everyone I encounter acting like a human beingLate again she acts like I don't exist, the same routineAnd everyday is just like this; from the back seat I tell her it's ok to my handBut she laughs saying, "honey its ok you wouldn't understand"It drives me sane to know that if she only realizedThat I could see the answer in her tired eyesHopefully dad will see it and won't let her slip awayBut it destroys me to see this happens and there is nothing I can sayMy curse of comprehension in this premature formWith the ability to see damage and hear the silent alarmsAll of this while eating dinner every night at 7pmWith the family surrounding the table ending with amenAll of this while eating dinner at 7pmWith the family surrounding the table ending with amen From Letras Mania
