The Mirror

I know you want to be remembered
When you go you don't want to go
All fruits and flowers of adoration
You write things down to make sure they are here
I know you want to be forgotten
When you go you just want to go
All worldly goods of men and nations
You write things down to make them disappear
In the morning you can't stand to see yourself
You barely even answer to your name
Where I would use the mirror as TV, my love
You would spend the day watching the rain
Bouncing off the leaves
Unsolved mysteries align in the earth
As you wait and observe
I know you want to be remembered
When you go you don't want to go
All fruits and flowers of adoration
You write things down to make sure they are here
I know you want to be forgotten
When you go you just want to go
All worldly goods of men and nations
You write things down to make them disappear
All the birds and bees you have assembled here
To talk about the way you kick the ball
Half the time I'm hanging on your every word
Half the time I pay no mind at all
To the dolls around
Homeward underground
As I hold the thought
Watching you holding court
I know you want to be remembered
When you go you don't want to go
All fruits and flowers of adoration
You write things down to make sure they are here
