29
I wrote a letter to myself
So no one else would have to read it
It's weighing heavy on my mind
I prayed to a god I don't believe in
Recurring visions in my sleep
Tricycles and curbs of frustration
I heard Chester screaming loud
Arms aflame and ready to break
You never see it coming
Immortal ideas fade
I'm feeling so much older now
29 years today
Green-stick fracture at the wrist
Jumping cars out in the garden
European seaside town
Drowned in lemon cello, heaving poison
Lost my cool down at the rink
Pinned to the wall for striking dad
Running absent from my parents
Dirty rag and oil, a concrete bed
You never see it coming
Immortal ideas fade
I'm feeling so much older now
29 years
You never see it coming
Strumming arthritis away
29 years today
Dragged away from all my friends
Calendar days stole my summer
I'd miss Matthew's friendly ghost
Sunlight cured us of the shivers
I threw my shoes into the lake
When school was done, freedom celebrated
All the hills and valleys climbed
I never quite learned to tie my laces
You never see it coming
Immortal ideas fade
I'm feeling so much older now
29 years
You never see it coming
Strumming arthritis away
Stacking cutlery on my birthday
29 years today.
So no one else would have to read it
It's weighing heavy on my mind
I prayed to a god I don't believe in
Recurring visions in my sleep
Tricycles and curbs of frustration
I heard Chester screaming loud
Arms aflame and ready to break
You never see it coming
Immortal ideas fade
I'm feeling so much older now
29 years today
Green-stick fracture at the wrist
Jumping cars out in the garden
European seaside town
Drowned in lemon cello, heaving poison
Lost my cool down at the rink
Pinned to the wall for striking dad
Running absent from my parents
Dirty rag and oil, a concrete bed
You never see it coming
Immortal ideas fade
I'm feeling so much older now
29 years
You never see it coming
Strumming arthritis away
29 years today
Dragged away from all my friends
Calendar days stole my summer
I'd miss Matthew's friendly ghost
Sunlight cured us of the shivers
I threw my shoes into the lake
When school was done, freedom celebrated
All the hills and valleys climbed
I never quite learned to tie my laces
You never see it coming
Immortal ideas fade
I'm feeling so much older now
29 years
You never see it coming
Strumming arthritis away
Stacking cutlery on my birthday
29 years today.
