Walk Like You

You know more than you think you know,
This universe is in your eyes,
Inside the galaxies collide.

Which parent told you that you're slow?
My absent dad, my mum's control,
Schooled me to be a worker drone.

So this is it,
A life on earth,
We're made of stars,
We're made of dirt,
Unconsciousness,
We disconnect,
Tone deaf to calling.

We learn to walk like you,
Talk like you,
Oo-be-do,
Think like you,
Whine like you,
Love like you in pieces.

You know more than you think you know,
Your DNA is pulsed by stars,
Reveal the cogs that wheel the show.

So this is it,
A universe of birth and death,
Love and neglect,
But we forget,
Dad's off on tour or in a meeting.

We will not walk like you,
Talk like you,
Oo-be-do,
Fight like you,
Screwed like you,
Break like you,
In pieces.
