lyrics

Mother's found a lump.
Suddenly, everyone's preparing for a visit;
we need to say the words she never said.
She's bought a wig for going out,
but when it itches she let's her hair down.
We avert our eyes from death,
and wonder which of us is next.

Summer's slumbers kept us younger;
the world's a perfect place
when you don't know
what's swept under the rug -
just the nose upon your face.
Don't look behind the curtain,
in innocence we are all saints.

My father lost his father to a cancer
that left everyone unanswered.
Now, no one dares to ask about him anymore.
I wonder, if his father had lived,
would they have settled their differences?
Will we settle ours yet?
Or bear these grudges to our deaths.

Autumn's fallen, hallways darken.
The world's a scary place,
it's best not to know
what's under the bed.
Behind the closet door.
Your innocence is bliss;
don't sully it with what's unknown.

Winter's fingers are boa constrictors.
The world is full of heartbreak and loss
and maddening joy -
one begets the other.
I don't regret the honey or the sting.

Now, I lay me down to sleep.
