Joining You
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Eb
dear Dar your mom my friend left a message on my machine she was frantic saying you were talking crazy
that you wanted to do away with yourself I guess she thought i'd be a perfect resort because we've had this inexplicable connection since our youth

and yes they're in shock they are panicked you and your chronic them and their drama
you this embarrassment us in the middle of this delusion

if we were our bodies / if we were our futures / if we were our defenses i'd be joining you
if we were our culture / if we were our leaders / if we were our denials i'd be joining you

I remember vividly a day years ago we were camping you knew more than you thought you should know
you said "I don't want ever to be brainwashed"
and you were mind-boggling you were intense you were uncomfortable in your own skin
you were thirsty but mostly you were beautiful

if we were our name-tags / if we were our rejections / if we were our outcomes i'd be joining you
if we were our indignities / if we were our successes / if we were our emotions i'd be joining you

you and I we're like 4 year olds we want to know why and how come about everything we want to reveal ourselves at will and speak our minds and never talk small and be intuitive and question mightily and find god my tortured beacon we need to find like-minded companions

if we were their condemnations / if we were their projections / if we were our paranoias i'd be joining you
if we were our incomes / if we were our obsession / if we were our afflictions i'd be joining you

we need reflection we need a really good memory feel free to call me a little more often
