Kale & Eggs

from Kaleidokoi by Jinnouchi Power

lyrics

If I hung my hat on a mountaintop
And waited for you to steep in your grave,
You’d pay your debts to father time,
And climb up to me and crawl in my bed.

And when you expose your body to a crowd,
And pay the price of art with your own skin,
Those shifting eyes will generalize.
Your self-expression will be marginalized.

And just how far do you think you can run?
I won’t say much, I guess ‘cause you’re young.
But it’s not too late, though your web has been spun.
I’ll forgive you now and again when it’s done.

I know you love me,
So why don’t you reach out?
I know you’re stuck in your own mind.
So am I

I’ve come back home.
I’ve come here to stay.
Just a cat with thumbs with which I do lay.
The doorframes are bruised and the kitchen is warm
With two eggs and kale on our plates every morning.

I’m exhausted and high and surrounded by friends.
They fill me with spirits and we hum each other’s tunes.
And when I play out I sing about you,
And stare at the moon like you told me to.

And you passed through my life just like a dream.
Assimilated through want and held back by change.
A baby will be born
A baby will come
But just like you and I, the timing’s all wrong.

But I can’t stand this life
Of unfulfilled promises.
The most that you could do was nothing at all.
You took it all.
