Lyrics: Daniel He
Music: Daniel He
I’m stared by a kid on the subway
he peeks from behind his mother’s back
dark haired brown skinned
catching my gaze
coy was the smile that he gave
now vaulting from corner to corner
with my eyes he plays hide&seek
a giant from the sky
with gold in his sleeves
that must be what I am to him
that must be what I am to him
I recall back in the day
when world’s a jovial play
parents are saints
death is fake
and the bed is made
"sleep through the weekends babe."
I find myself bending down my back
I send out all my warmest gaze
try to look like a child for him
tuck all those darkness away
the camera reels just played in my head
that phone call on March 23.
open casket,seeing your pale face
“I love you.”was all I could say
“I love you.”was all I could say
now mortality’s in play
I wear it everyday
it makes me skin crawl
on hot summer days
tears swept me away
he sees it on my face
The mother finds him and grabs his hand
“In public you ought to behave.”
then the train stopped
they’re on their way
the most innocent smile was made
I watch em as they fade away
