Voices and Cartoons

You fell in love with me before you knew my body You fell in love with me before you knew my face You fell in love with me before I understood The complexities of time and waste You fell in love with me when I knew my body You fell in love with me when I knew my face Before it was tangled, and torn up, and tightened, and thrown out Before I knew about fear and how the world's so damn unsafe No one gets away And I think that's something that we forget It's completely lost in the things you say And I know you better than most human beings No one lives completely in night or day It is hard to see from the other side Just exactly what is missing But when you climb out the box And see over the top Surprise, surprise It is a different kind of gazing I hope that Thomas is still going on I hope that ***** is wearing a skirt tonight I do not hope that you are staying strong, or tough, or big, or full of might And she told me that he was a sociopath But last night I saw tears in his eyes And I know what you're thinking That I'm just assuming But something tells me that I must be right Because this is INDISPUTABLY wrong And it has NOTHING to do with me Maybe I have trouble seeing SOMETIMES But my intuition is strong, usually And I've thought this over, and over, and over And I know what I am not anymore They say at this age, you get to choose your path But I have known this long before And it just makes me want to go back To when we were voices and cartoons When we picked our own names And we could always change them If we want to We can change, if we want to
