Sometimesland Lyrics

There's a place I used to go to

Place I used to go to

Place I use to go

Wouldn't you like to know

Never grow up I couldn't help it though

Mother screaming in my head

She screams at night in her bed

There is black water I tread

I think I am better off dead

I cried one time because we all die

She said there's a place we go to in the sky

I still don't know why

I was glad or was I?

What was her alibi

Was there a place for me to nullify

These songs are saws

I want no applause

This is my story there are dropped jaws

These songs are gauze

My mother is fifty-seven and she gnaws

She is demented now from what she caused

The dark of her has claws

Her memory evaporates not fogs

Can't run but they think her mind jogs

Her mind and her brain are just at odds

Go on and pray to all the gods

Tell her fairy tales and she just nods

This album is not made

To watch fade

It should be played

Like you hold a blade

It was meant to abrade

In that I am not afraid

I am the girl that strayed

I will not be portrayed

As the girl who stayed

I don't know where to go, age twenty-eight

I ran so hard away it got too late

Don't want to see her again, may not have to wait

Why does she remember me when I don't communicate

She forgot what she did and I don't commiserate

There's a storm front she can vacate

There's a drawn out end I anticipate

Memories bleed, they don't acclimate

I can't look at her for the hate

Sometimesland is where I go to hide

Life is jagged on the in and outside
