Mearl Purvis & Reince Preibus' Hug & Tug Daycare - by Brian Vernon & Patrick Hitt
I once heard myself say, "I think I'm gonna get even
with everyone who used me by using other people."
& i was ready to grind bone, watch them bleed what was owed
no keepsake would have damned me, nor fingerprints or dentistry
-Chorus-
Forgive all who've ever wronged you, be the change you want to last
Don't measure every breath & every step, no matter the wind you are the mast
don't regret when you were bolder, & don't live in the past
You were born to bend not to be broken, no matter the wind you are the mast, no matter the wind you are the mast
I once heard a girl say, "I think that would be amazing
if you could forgive everything, including that feeling."
She brought me back to port & then some, blindsided from the starboard
She likes mixing paint & MCS, I hide my heart in her ashes
-Chorus-
Too many words to write any down
hope who i was is in the lost & found
Will it be ok when you find me instead?
All they wrote about me won't be read
I didn't know how to react to the storm of what my friends did
No matter the reason nor rhyme, part of me is more ego & id
Some paint in the snow kept my tools in the shed
Hear my confession of all i did in my head
