Grow up, kid
October 5, 2023
The land that you see
When you close your eyes
Kid, it’s not real, don’t
Pine after those lies,
Grow up kid,
Grow up.
The fairies don’t flit
Nor the river sing
You won’t find the gold
Down there in the well,
Grow up, kid,
Grow up.
That warm, sticky heart
Inside of your chest
It won’t last long here,
With sharks circling round,
Grow up, kid
Grow up.
Rip those sweet daydreams
Right out of your head,
And crush them to dust
Between your fingers -
Dreaming, believing,
They won’t get you there,
No pat on the back,
That’s not how it works,
Grow up, kid,
Grow up
Kid, grow up.
