Germany, 1991

Start from the beginning
Because even though I’d like you to believe
I came out swinging
It was more of a stumble
A trip
A fall
Through the floor and straight into a brick wall
And in this metaphor my bones
Well they never properly finished healing
But I’m not trying to say
That my entire childhood was completely twisted and frayed
Just that it’s hard to feel complete when you know you can’t stay
The military decides in 2 years time
That you’ll pack up and move a couple thousand miles away
To another commissary, another BX
Another 10 o’clock curfew
«You're all set!»
Another crush you’ll watch from afar for another 2 years but never bed
Another batch of asshole airmen
Who think they’re the reason we’re all still here
No, just because you decide to enlist doesn’t make you any kind of fucking hero
All I wanted was a chance to care to memorize names and shake hands
To build this Family Bed with every friend I never truly met
The kind of bond you find early on that doesn’t have any boundaries or quotas
Something like Walter and Jesse
Or-wait!
no no!
Probably more like Logan and Dakota
What the fuck is wrong with me?
What the fuck is wrong with me?
I’m surrounded by familiar faces and I still feel lonely
What the fuck is wrong with me?
Now I got my roots planted firmly
Got the support I said I would need
So I should be happy with what I’ve got
But I’m not
