David F. Bello - Home Close To Home (Pt. 2) lyrics

You remind me of the girl in the dream I had on the night I turned thirteen You floated up from the edge of the sea With clams all covering your feet Leaves clung fast to your skin The forest's mouth welcomed you in As you fell to every earthly sin Adapting outside of the ocean Crudely breaking every rule Your fathers taught to you Cutting yourself in the bathroom And making all your sisters turn to the spoon Following the path of beaten birds Sprinkling their feathers on worlds Planets far away and without words You crashed across a valley filled with herds You walked away without a scratch And the numbers formed a pattern we call math Beauty came from impurities in that Covering your head like a child's hat I ride past where I almost got in a car wreck A drunken night pretending I was a redneck Where I stupidly hit on a good friend's sister And the neighborhood where her young boyfriend hit her And I remember a girl who cried on every prom night And the tall tree I pissed on out of spite Back in Parkersburg
