The day came today and I woke up feeling empty So I filled my favourite cup up with cola and watched the bus pass And listened to the hard wood floor creaking beneath my feet I got taller and grew more tired and so I put my coloured glasses on And sang a good song that made me think of the yesterday that never happened The day of today is one I see in tones of beige and green With apples and tomatoes slowly decaying in the shiny kitchen bowls I got tempted and fell asleep again I don't remember what day it is, and I don't need to, I can just sleep until the dog leaves As I walked down the street in midday, I watched a father teach his child how to ride a bike And I passed the kids in skinny jeans and blue and black jackets Wearing my old sweats and a sweater with a sign on it, beige - like my mood And I went into a store, waited patiently in line and grew fond of being lost in space I've walked here many times before today And yet, today the air was fresher and warmer I don't know that at any other point Was the city in such a calm rhythm which I listened to, my ear to the eyes of wide Whose were those eyes that stared me down before I could even get a good look? It was capitalism encapsulated by old buildings, beautiful, yet sold Rich in value, but the labels they wore were filled with steaming poetry Written in a factory that manufactures style and generating false greatness And I learned today, that you can be honest and loving and poetic But in all these efforts, you must remain unapologetic and firm I'm no attack dog, I only speak what's upon my fragile glass mind And today, as any day, I missed my mother and my hometown, where they think I'm a star Not because of fanfare, but because I carry myself that way I've always carried myself that way and cried when all was said and done and no one was left Not to applaud or serenade, but to hold and to whisper strong feelings I had to They'd say I was gonna be a star, so I treated myself as a star even alll those years ago Now, when I walk alone, down the street No one knows who I am and if they knew, perhaps they wouldn't have cared But I am reminded that my hair sweeps the wind and my feet fall over when my head starts spinning There is too much of it everywhere, but even too much in fragments is too much in the end As today, the day of my reclamation of my own story Not for you, or from anybody really I sit by the white gray windowsill and smile at my flowers My patrner's away, working and being sheltered And I? I want to travel to America and make them hear my thunder Like a lion with a mouthguard, I watch from my window or the backseat And I don't judge, I only spectate art and am moved by it and how it saves lives It saved and enriched mine and now, I'm going out, pouring myself a glass of water To take some time to wonder if we'll ever really burn this bluegreen ball down And how may I do my part to prevent it, I love all the blue and green Why would I want to end this love festival called growth When there's so much to dance and cry about - a lot? I am not the same and you know me less every day, unless you don't Which is probably why you're listening to this, whatever this turns out to be I am not happy as for a while I haven't been - but at least I'm free
