Oh The Places You'll Go

Seven years old, going on 17 centuries
I overheard things
Observed things
And learned things

Fear factor was like my comedy
I sat way too close to the TV screen
Now I can't unsee the scenes mama tried to hide from me
I'd turn the volume all the way up, make my teddy bears fight and my Barbie dolls fuck
To drown out screams I hear when I press my ear to this wall between us
And while my mama's only a wall away, I'm like worlds away of wading hot lava

Daydreaming in sagas
Coloring the sky pink like
Sucked into oblivion, idolizing my future feminine
Worshipping the woman I have to be
Fully imagining things more real than everything they have to be
More real than anything I'll ever be, like

Welcome to my room of doom
My blasphemy, my second womb
This broom closet is only half of me, but
All of it belongs to you

I've made some room enough for few of your
Monsters, demons, and skeletons, too
I just hope you find your fucking truth
You fucking fool
