Dear darlin

Your mom  my friend

Left a message on my machine

She was frantic

Saying you were talking crazy

That you wanted to do away with yourself

Guess she thought I would be the perfect resort
Because weve had this inexplicable connection since our youth

And yes  theyre in shock
They are panicked
You and your chronic
Them and their drama

You this embarassment
Us in the middle of this delusion

If we were our bodies
If we were our futures
If we were our defenses
Id be joining you

If we were our culture
If we were our leaders
If we were our denials
Id be joining you

I remember vividly a day years ago
We were camping
You knew more than you thought you should know
You said i dont want ever to be brainwashed

And you were mindboggling  you were intense
You were uncomfortable in your own skin
You were thirsty
But mostly you were beautiful

If we were our nametags

If we were our rejections
If we were our outcomes
Id be joining you

If we were our indignities

If we were our successes

If we were our emotions
Id be joining you

You and i  were like four year olds
We want to know why  and how come about everything

We want to reveal ourselves at will  and speak our minds
And never talk small talk and be intuitive
And question mightily  and find God my tortured beacon

We need to find like-minded companions

If we were their condemnations

If we were their projections

If we were our paranoias  Id be joining you

If we were our incomes

If we were our obsessions

If we were our afflictions  Id be joining you

We need a reflection

We need a really good memory
Feel free to call me a little more often
