Lyrics by Mayflies in April, copyright 2012

———

I know there's a chance you aren't / really there
(guess I don't really care)
Maybe you don't know that I am / even here
(guess you can't really care)
Father, I know you are prolly / good as dead
(drowned in pills and cement)
Maybe if I become more than / you ever could
(we would be who we should)

I guess it's not so bad at all
A thousand, four hundred, and sixty five miles apart
The pen in my hand makes me real
My words on paper make me heal

Homer sent a father to the / land of the dead
(but where did mine go instead?)
Okonkwo waited, then joined in the beating / of his son
(and what would mine have done?)
Vader couldn't help but give in / to himself
(could I be someone else?)
Abraham was willing to kill his little boy
(as if he had no other choice)

I guess it's not so bad at all
A thousand, four hundred, and sixty five miles apart
The pen in my hand makes me real
My words on paper make me heal
So long, Arizona ghost
It was good to know you for an hour at most
If you happen to fall soon, I wouldn't care to know
I assume you'll disappear like how you never showed

I am turning with a world which is turning without me;
out of and within oblivion we fill
(though I expand my own) capacity
