​graying

Lyrics

Heard they threw a party for you Even filled up balloons in your arteries To keep you from being a memory Ma colored her hair But I could hear her feet Spinning the plastic wheel of a cold IV Just graying Just aging Do you remember when you told me "someday I would miss the small things?" Some days come too soon Would you miss all you wanted to see in me? Watched you giving up on Christmas Kept filling a glass As an effigy You had meant to outlast And pass down to me So Ma colored her world In your reveries Like watered down ideals Bleeding entropy Are we waiting? Am I waiting? Do you remember when you told me' "I could be anything I want to?" I wanted to be you
