lyrics

The real world was building a fence around me
It was pruning the limbs of my possibility
It cut above my buds at a 45 degree
And I was feeling naked cuz it had cut off all my leaves
I was not getting enough sunlight or enough water
And the strong wind made my weak legs totter
Well I am not wise or fertilized
And you can see me through your turtle eyes
There’s no surprise after the frost it’s hotter

Was I waiting for my day to end?
Or waiting for my days to end?
I desired to mend the trend
There’s only so far these limbs can bend

Now the real world can lock you up
Make you lie down and roll over for your treats
Sure it will give you scraps every once in a while
Before it snaps at you like a crocodile
Don’t forget it owns your collar and your leash
Never forget who owns your collar or your leash

Are you waiting for your day to end?
Or waiting for your days to end?
If you so desire, you can mend the trend
There’s only so far these limbs can bend
Are we waiting for our day to end?
Or waiting for our days to end?
If we so desire, we can mend the trend
There’s only so only so only so far these limbs can bend
