The Great Parade

As she lies in the bed with the sound of her own breathing a little voice in her head that keeps on repeating prepare my dear because things are about to change there is a tiny tap in the center of her window her best friend james says molly why don't we go as far away from this town as we can he continues my dad is a damn no good lier he told me my mom went to live up in the sky but when I look up all I see are stars from moving cars I pushed my insides outside living here for far too long you are my best part my fresh start I'm hoping that you would come along so come along



Honey don't be scared I know just where she's hiding the answers in this book that I've been reading the same one she would read to me each night it's about a place at the bottom of the ocean she would always sigh how I wish that I could go there so let's hold our breath and sink into her arms because she didn't want to break him with the bad news she kissed him on his check and then continued go be with her I have to stay right here but you'll be missed my dear



Here comes your son

Here comes your son

He isn't all right

Here comes your son

Here comes your son

He isn't all right



I pushed my insides outside living here for far too long you are my best part my fresh start I'm hoping that you would come along so come along



And we'll fill our pockets up and sink down with the everything we've felt and seen we'll explore the mysteries of life and why it hurts to love and in a way the comfort that we're striving for in the end will be ignored i still think it's worth the risk even though that love and loss and tears and joy are just a different type of war it's true everyone must leave but I think it's who you hold inside your heart that keeps you warm while they've gone away
