“Hello everyone. How you guys doing tonight? Uhh, the first song I wanna play for you guys is about a friend of mine. It’s also a little bit about me.“ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LYRICS: I have mapped the cupboards and drawers. Tracked the least walked spots on the floor. Happy to be home, safe and warm. Shadows by their feet. The odd vanishing treat, quietly eating while they sleep. So here’s where I’ll be raising my kids if I can find someone to start a family with. Till then, I dream of the day my odds and ends fit. I’ll wake up, there’ll be food on the stove forever and never want for more. Is there cheese in the great beyond? Rinds of Parmesan. Wine to water, night from dawn. Life gets shorter, teeth grow long. Mind me not and I’ll mind my own. And my mind’s not one bite smaller or lesser than yours. Do I belong in right and wrong? Nature, I guess. One night, one flung light through this place. So I run for cover. Over, under. Left the rind out on the plate. Little heart racing and praying “Something keep me safe.“ I think it saw my face... Okay, one hungry day is nothing, come what may. But then winter came inside for three nights. Left me grinding my teeth between my walls and gripping my dreams tight. Curled up, kept my head up and put up the fight. I’ll make it through again. I have before. C’mon, now, what’s one more? Is there cheese in the great beyond? Rinds of Parmesan. Wine to water, night from dawn. Life gets shorter, teeth grow long. Mind me not and I’ll mind my own. And my mind’s not one bite smaller or lesser than yours. Do I belong in right and wrong? Nature, I guess. Spring bloomed in the kitchen again! So I crawled out of the walls and squinting, saw hope on the stovetop, just like I’d always imagined it. More than I could eat, my dreams were finally reality. My struggles have a happy ending. They must want to be friends! But right before I bite, the child’s eyes meet with mine. I don’t know why, but my, we’re both scared! And so, I back off back to bed. I’ve been hungry for three nights, I’ll make it four and save my head. But as I mumble down to sleep, a helping hand appears; a humble meal of water and cheese. One small act of quiet, warm peace. A night spent full and eased. The glint still left in my mind. Let a sigh out as I close my eyes. One day ends, the next begins. That’s for the best. Is there cheese in the great beyond? Is kindness not yet gone? A ray of hope amidst the dark storm. Now, I’m not one for guardian deities, but something tells me she said, so silently “Your mind’s not one bite smaller or lesser than mine.“ Do I belong in right and wrong? One kills, one grows. And why? I don’t know, but time goes on with me still not gone, so I’ll take Alive along with Alone. Tonight, my song’s sung in right and wrong. Nature, I guess. Nature, I guess. Nature, I guess.
