The Half of It

from Make Mouths by passion fanfare

lyrics

So I don't think it's easy to be me but I also don't think it's easy to be you 'cause we live on a planet where everybody wants us to pretend we're human and we cry, but just stop kidding yourself, I know you laughed when all those people died.

It's hard to be the only one of you, I know, I know it too, the lines inside your wrists and all the pages in your pockets. It will be different when I'm older, better when I'm smarter, but okay, let's just fuck up now and bite my mouth to keep from starting.

The half of it
And you don't know the half of it

And you will be lonely for a while, but I will take your hand in mine, put it in my pocket with the money I don't recognize and the keys I bought at flea markets when I was twelve and slammed boys into the walls and never got caught 'cause I'm small.

Let's go live under the bridge where Quentin Compson died, threw himself into the water when he'd had enough of time. I wish that we could see him. We could try to make him smile, if he only knew that girls in school would swoon over his frothing lines.

To say to you
Nothing I say will ever make it okay for you
To say to you
'Cause I know you can never escape

Quentin, hold on
We love you like anything
Be strong
You're everything to me
