walk like you

James

You know more than you think you know
This universe is in your eyes
Inside the galaxies collide
Which parent told you that you're slow?
My absent dad, my mum's control
Schooled me to be a worker drone

So this is it
A life on earth
We're made of stars
We're made of dirt
Unconsciousness
We disconnect
Tone deaf to calling

We learn to walk like you
Talk like you
Oo-be-do
Think like you
Whine like you
Love like you in pieces
You know more than you think you know
Your dna is pulsed by stars
Reveal the cogs that wheel the show

So this is it
A universe of birth and death
Love and neglect
But we forget
Dad's off on tour or in a meeting
We will not walk like you
Talk like you
Oo-be-do
Fight like you
Screwed like you
Break like you
In pieces
