Track 08 from 'Contraplans' - LP [2010]

lyrics

Playgrounds

There was once a handsome youngster who felt the crush of her expectations.
She seemed at peace, but, no-one asked her.
She felt the lure of the stars above her.
It's not the gravity she can’t escape, but something that cannot be mastered.

They taught you the right way when you thought you were at play.

The result of a perfect union, the boy was held up for inspection.
Basked in blessings from the get go.
But, his soul was left un-nurtured, void of something he had to work for.
Poisoned by his precious pedestal.

Is it possible to think and function while exhibiting inherited traits?
It makes no sense to halt production but, if conformity can bring no comfort, it needs addressing.
It’s no mistake, those un-walked paths can be so beautiful.

Year after year passed away.
But, if you chase after ever-afters, don’t be surprised if it goes your way.
