Pictures of You

Remember Lighthouse Beach I was seven, hoarding Railroads You threw the cards on the table at me And yelled you were in debt And when you found the pee On the pearl couch that I drew on You've forgotten but there's a scar in my chest I'll only show you if you look at me It's not something you'd say to your father I'm not burdened I'm not I would rather walk back home Than take pictures of you when you leave me unhung Don't come home Frogs only sing when there's no one staring I remember joining your side You shut up and we were glad of that I cleaned the couch with bleach under the sink With you staring down my feet Then your bird was caught in a fishing net Her wings completely unfurled It's been years and she's still mouthing the words along Why do you keep prying at the joints I'd rather walk back home I can barely take pictures of you now, you're such a mud grudge Don't come home Frogs only sing when there's no one staring Remember when you yelled At me after the soccer games Talk about 'copter parents, why are you bashing on others When you were just the same It's not something you'd say to your daughter Well aren't you glad I'm not I would rather walk back home Than listen to zilch as you bugeye the cars on the road Don't come home I'll only sing when there's no one staring
