FAMILY ØVER EVERYTHING
Grin, big
Pull up your cheeks
Even if it hurts to
Hold them in place
Restaurant, etiquette
It's protocol to keep
Elbows off the table and
Place the napkin in your legs
I should know by now
My manners are an extension
Of who I represent
I only matter when I behave
But fuck it
You can crop me off
The pictures
Or slide me underneath the frames
You all look better
Without my rebellion
To blemish it
They think that
I am the black sheep
But I sure as hell shouldn't be
'cause there's someone else
Much more enigmatic than me
He is just better at
Placing the napkin
When I was seventeen
My therapist asked of me
To draw a picture of
My immediate family
And once I did
She inquired me
'why did you depict yourself
So far out in the corner?'
But I was too scared of the truth untold
'what role do you play in your
Household?'
And my skin faded into white-snow
So I told her, "if family is supposed to be over everything
Then why did he want to pick me up at night?"
If family is supposed to be over everything
Then why did he want to pick me up at night?
Pull up your cheeks
Even if it hurts to
Hold them in place
Restaurant, etiquette
It's protocol to keep
Elbows off the table and
Place the napkin in your legs
I should know by now
My manners are an extension
Of who I represent
I only matter when I behave
But fuck it
You can crop me off
The pictures
Or slide me underneath the frames
You all look better
Without my rebellion
To blemish it
They think that
I am the black sheep
But I sure as hell shouldn't be
'cause there's someone else
Much more enigmatic than me
He is just better at
Placing the napkin
When I was seventeen
My therapist asked of me
To draw a picture of
My immediate family
And once I did
She inquired me
'why did you depict yourself
So far out in the corner?'
But I was too scared of the truth untold
'what role do you play in your
Household?'
And my skin faded into white-snow
So I told her, "if family is supposed to be over everything
Then why did he want to pick me up at night?"
If family is supposed to be over everything
Then why did he want to pick me up at night?
