In my car
"Suppress your emotions
distract your mind...
build four walls
and hide inside...
lock your doors
learn to lie...
live like a zombie
in disguise...
Study a career
find a wife...
make some children
see them at night...
confess your sins
before you die...
you better believe
this is life...
I wanted my grandma
to live a little bit longer...
so I could give her my love
when I grew older...
so she could enjoy her kids
without weight on her shoulders...
and she could see that what she did
made us all stronger....
I'm sitting in my car
in a random place
it is not too early
It is not too late
I had to let you go
and swallow my pain
It caused me indigestion
but little by little...is going away.
