Matroshka

I was looking down at you
Smiling up at me
For once I held you tight
But shadowed hands grabbed at me Your head was in the clouds
Now those clouds are in your head
That’s when you needed me So I listened to what you said
Look another year went by They keep passing by God damn I didn’t even die
To old and slow I have grown
I fought time but lost
Your love was like a callus
I scarred enough to be Tough and immune
My body adapts you see
To all above my head
And all below my feet
No that’s one freedom
You’ll never take from me Look another year went by They keep passing by God damn I didn’t even die
Too old and slow I have grown
I fought love but lost
To criticize and judge
How did I end up here?
With these standards I’m supposed to love
Make me disappear
To criticize and judge
How did I end up here?
With these standards I’m supposed to love
Make me disappear
To criticize and judge
How did I end up here?
With these standards I’m supposed to love
Make me disappear
