about

This song is dedicated to my beautiful daughter Zella.

lyrics

They've seen my soul’s surface and know there are dreams below.
And yet they keep boasting their security features I need in my home.

Fears are so palpable, fearsome and powerful.
They've seen me cower below the mountainous peaks where all the hours go.

Somewhere beneath the flowers growing is a unsettled fella,
With one goal left to build a proper umbrella for Zella.

I relish this sturdy shelter where my spawn can grown and play.
And experience her growing pains without knowing I’m so afraid.

I need a new game face to hide the constant bluffing.
A titanium casing to hide the world’s softest stuffing.

Baby gates and outlet covers. Watch my lover becoming a mother,
It unearths new emotions and reminds me why I’m so in love with her.

Luckily I’m experienced in the art of empathy.
And I will protect both my girls even if it means the death of me.

Responsibility creates chains, but it other ways it sets me free.
I’m tasked with protecting a kicking screaming dependent being.

She’ll ask me life’s questions and I’ll have to fake the answer.
Like why is there genocide, murder, aids, rape and cancer?

I don’t know. I tell her there’s beauty inside the xylophone.
And even beyond the final note she’ll never walk this life alone.
