She looks over at poor old me
Iâm still asleep till I hear her speak
And she takes me down to stream
I am slipshod slapdash overwrought underexposed
She exposes her leg to me
She retracts when she sees me flinch
Sheâs offended, I double back, I say
I want to do it, I do, Iâm just donât know how
Sheâs so close you cannot see her,
You forget yourself in your desire.
Laid out like a sprawling city,
Infinite unbounded hide and seek.
Wash your little face and wonât you come back
There are things that you need to know,
How to guess when the momentâs close,
How to get it out of her clothes,
How to seem like youâve done it before while you shake with joy.
And we lie in her parentâs bed,
Trying to pretend that itâs ours instead.
They come in with their face turned red,
They say âdaughter of mine, think of all that you could have been.â
Sheâs so close you cannot see her,
You forget yourself in your desire.
Laid out like a sprawling city,
Infinite unbounded hide and seek.
Wash your little face
And why donât you believe her when she says
Please come back, please come back.
But both of your cocoons begin to fray
Please come back, wonât come back
Your skin it is harder now
It does not belong to you
Sheâs not what she said she was
And neither are you
Sheâs so close you cannot see her,
You forget yourself in your desire.
Laid out like a sprawling city,
Infinite unbounded hide and seek.
Wash your little face
