Handheld video star
Toe-headed boy
Such a joy.
A hand in the neighbor’s pie
Made him cry
He didn’t know why.
An atlas
Painted blue
Was all he knew
All he knew to do.
Watered till it died
Bathed in the morning light
Venus fly.
What were we supposed to do
With a boy like you?
Growing as the saying goes
“Growing up” I suppose.
Knowing when to
Keep his hands to himself
When to keep his mouth closed
When to drive himself home.
What was he supposed to do
With a mind like new?
What was he supposed to be
In a time so free?
What was he supposed to do?
Reality is untrue.
What was he supposed to be
With a soul like me?

runner-up favorite track - I Will Come Back. The album altogether is an escalating crescendo that lifts the mood and transports you to somewhere beautiful. swagmoneygfly
A nostalgic record full of ambling rhythms, vivid imagery, and cotton-soft melodies tapped out on an ever-present ’70s synth-organ hybrid. Bandcamp Album of the Day Nov 11, 2021
