Grampfather - Bad Taxidermy
Love can seem just like a dog’s lifeShort and sweet ‘til it just can’t walk right
I guess it goes for everybody else
I just won’t put it on the shelf
And hope it’ll grow and flourish and flower
Knowing all the while the thing’s gone sour
Some vague hope, some brave joke
Is prodding you on and luring you in
To an illusion of an image with no reference
I feel like I’ve died a thousand times
Hoping with each death I’d grow more wise
So shed my skins and let’s begin
Again and again, and when will it end
My heavens, they turn against me
Well, I’ve got brief stints of peace
Between my purgatories
Well, maybe it’s not so bad
Maybe the lows I’ve had
Will enrich the highs I’ll have
I got a lot for my time
I know the world won’t stand still for my desires
Each vision is a revision to be revised
I thought I knew, but I never know
Well, I feel like a volcano
Ready to explode
And cover all the old
With new framework to unfold
Well, I’m breaking out of the mold
Let lava cool into new land
Expanding the perimeter to understand
You only knew
The first tier of the facade
That fortified my fears
Well, now that it’s all laid bare
There’s no room for the gloom and despair
Just remember, just remember to forget
To forget just what this place meant
And watch all our amazement
Become subject to displacement
And it'll all just fade
And we’ll forget what this place meant
