| She is in her room
|
| He is in his car
|
| Talking with his friends about girls
|
| And all the things they are
|
| She is in the mirror
|
| He is on the road
|
| Laughing at the speed he is going
|
| And if his car could explode
|
| This is your get away
|
| She rehearsed in her mind
|
| Putting her hands on her breast for the first time
|
| With the voice in her head
|
| And the body she kept
|
| Like two strangers finding it odd to have met
|
| In a place they both call home
|
| She faces the wall hangings
|
| Changing with the pace she has grown
|
| With his engine still racing
|
| Down the road chasing
|
| For what
|
| They never ask they just pass
|
| He is *
|
| He is a name
|
| She is a shape
|
| He is a conqueror of worlds
|
| She is a grape among wine
|
| Thirsty to the spine he drives
|
| Among time
|
| Unworthy as the blind with eyes who bind souls
|
| She turned fifteen and he turned when the green said go
|
| Cus the scene said so
|
| Cus the team said go
|
| Cus it just seemed so
|
| Cus we just believe what we believe in
|
| So
|
| And so she added a little glow to her cheeks
|
| It never really mattered to her dad
|
| He was just a shadow that speaks
|
| In an effort to abort an affair
|
| That occasionally creeks in the floorboards
|
| And fixes leaks
|
| All but the one in her mind
|
| All but the one that she hides
|
| She paints sex on her eyes
|
| The way she sees it advertised
|
| And she talks away an ego about half her size
|
| And now the guys yell break
|
| They all draw swords
|
| They all separate into rebels without cause
|
| So * makes a call to this girl who is dressed as a women
|
| Though she stalls her address is an omen
|
| And as open as her ears were
|
| She found a boy that could hear her
|
| Who thought of every ploy to get near her
|
| But never adhere her
|
| He sheered her slowly
|
| Steered her from a girl till the woman appeared lowly
|
| Only she’s not known
|
| She’s not full grown
|
| Her body her mind
|
| Her father not home
|
| In the oddest of times she finds she’s alone
|
| Offering thy mind thy body
|
| Thy bone
|
| And now he’s stepping on the gas with all three legs
|
| And never thought how fast his fuel mixed with rage
|
| Or the ways in which he masked his hate with his passion
|
| Passing through her gates
|
| Burning through her grass
|
| Turning the hurt into laughs
|
| From the scorn at the track meet
|
| To the girls that trashed him cus he was born of acne
|
| And wore it like it was ash from a million burnt offerings
|
| Coughing from the smoke in his parents jokes for better offspring
|
| Though this is not the fall or spring
|
| This is the winter
|
| This is the call
|
| This is the ring in which he enters
|
| He 23 years of fame
|
| She with her 15 years with no name
|
| And she didn’t say yes she didn’t say no
|
| He didn’t see green he only heard go
|
| And though she never fought when he took her to the floor
|
| She thought, I don’t want to be a woman anymore
|
| And found her escape in those same wall hangings
|
| Her legs her gates his face
|
| Angry
|
| While dangling above her he kisses her heels
|
| And she wonders
|
| If this is how her mother feels |
