The sky is dark, the engine loud,
I hear it outside the door.
My clothes are on the chair
It must be today.
It is today. It is today.
I thought things would stay the same,
I thought things would be alright,
I thought we'd stay here.
In the backseat, can I brush my hair?
What about my toys? What about my things?
What about my dad?
Lay down, don't say a word
Crying, no goodbye
Driving away. Driving away.
I thought things would stay the same,
I thought things would be alright,
I thought we'd stay here.
Where are we going? Who are you?
What did I do?
I know I can be better,
You won't even know I'm here.
I'll sit quietly. I'll sit quietly.
I thought things would stay the same,
I thought things would be alright,
I thought we'd stay here.
I thought things would stay the same,
I thought things would be alright,
I thought we'd stay here.
Commentary
I forgot about this one. I originally wrote these words last year, edited them and put them to music earlier this year. The music is intense and rises to a crescendo in the "I thought things would stay the same" refrain. Everyone who has heard it has commented that it is too depressing so I put it aside. I think I'm going to pick it up again though.
This is a true story, although not my true story.
