you’ve never been sick / in your whole corporate life / but the time you had surgery / you haven’t shed a tear / that I can recall / but the day we put our dog to grave / it’s important for a man to be brave / it’s important to smile it away / we’re sitting in the kitchen / we talk about what’s new / you recently found joy / in how the garden blooms / you tell me about your plan / to make a path around the pond / it perfectly makes sense to me / in this moment / the skin must be thick / you must not give in / and get lost in reverie / your grass is so green / your intentions so clean / there’s this side of you we’ll never meet / and all the secrets you’ll keep / all the secrets you’ll keep / we’re sitting in the kitchen / we talk about what’s new / you recently found joy / in how the garden blooms / you tell me about your plan / to make a path around the pond / it perfectly makes sense to me / in this moment / there’s a cake still resting on the windowsill cooling down / i wonder what it’d be like if you’re still around / the scent fills the air / the path is a sight to see / you’re taking a final round / until your mind’s set free / until your mind’s set free
