Frankenstein

You are Frankenstein to me

Frankenstein

I am Frankenstein to me

I deny you

I make you cry

Because you do not look inside

You are split in two

But you hold the beauty to shine through

But you don’t have the eyes

To see you choose one side.

Sitting in a Starbucks with you

I’m excited cos I think you’re pretty cool

I think you’re also kinda pretty

And I think on the eyes, im pretty easy, too

I know you see me differently

I know you’re only 20

I behold a baby before me

That’s ok; you’ll have one on me when I’m 40

I have lots of fun

I’m scared you want to run

Your eyes and ways rather disarm me

I’m scared that you’re scared cos you rather charm me

I can only be me, you can only be you

Sitting in this Starbucks, just us 2

I jump, you snap, I am silly

And in the end, we’ll always be family

(I know that I am different

And I can’t help it.

But grandpa’s just up the road

So you won’t get too cold on your walk home)

The grey timber is overcome

awash in a white I cannot define

and the people walking by are scared

but do they really care?

 

There’s never been such grave a matter

as the fact that the earth laughs in flowers

and what song am I going to write at work

and am I dressed twinkish enough for my worth?

 

And the fragile trees and souls conducting

a wondrous chorus for my mind

All these motions, oh how can you blame me?

So many souls are a wasteland for history.

 

And you said care for yourself

Lovely, you said watch yourself

I know, I know, I know

I  know, I know, I know

All right already.

 

Reclined amongst my pack of wolves

for to make music, the day into beauty

All these motions of lustful wanting

hurt my heart like a child motherless.

 

And the earth smiles in its flowers all ’round

and we’re too concerned with what kind of clothes we have on

Now you’re drunk and walking foolishly

Someone save our hearts, please bravely.

 

And the precious trees and souls conducting

all the roving crowds and their endless wanting.

All these motions, such beautiful motions

make me the guy to feel not so hopeless.

 

And you said care for yourself

Lovely, you said watch yourself

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know

I shall.
