sleep sweetly my young friend
tomorrow is a new day
we roll around and sweat it out
until the sun has set
we are now tamed, tempered, and free
within these four walls of course
i’ve never met a human being
who wishes away from these suburban woods
.
we grow stronger with familiarity
and weaker as it is undone
our families cry through all the lies
and we learn to live as one
our neighbors hit the lights out
we turn up our TV
i’ve never met a living soul
who wants to turn from
these suburban woods
.
oh my power during the day
and fear throughout the night
this may not be what we asked for
but it’s the closest to being alive
the daze has lifted for me my friend
soon it will for you as well
till i decide to run
from these tame gardens
they call The Suburban Woods
