lyrics
cathy relax it's not that permanent
this fear you're feeling
the shove is imminent
you're just resisting
while your neighbors
pack up
and give your garden back
their favorite place to trash
when they can't
face themselves
much less their children
who watch from outside
craving their affection
cathy you're wrong
you're not that innocent
for you've come to be
all that you resent
nurturing your fury
when you lay down
curled up
replaying strategies to crush
each one of your enemies
who taunt you daily
from outside the evergreens
swapping stories
the blood on their boot heels
because they can't face themselves
much less their children
who watch from the outside
craving their affection
in need of direction
this fear you're feeling
the shove is imminent
you're just resisting
while your neighbors
pack up
and give your garden back
their favorite place to trash
when they can't
face themselves
much less their children
who watch from outside
craving their affection
cathy you're wrong
you're not that innocent
for you've come to be
all that you resent
nurturing your fury
when you lay down
curled up
replaying strategies to crush
each one of your enemies
who taunt you daily
from outside the evergreens
swapping stories
the blood on their boot heels
because they can't face themselves
much less their children
who watch from the outside
craving their affection
in need of direction
