Amoeba

Between the gaps, I was swimming laps
Got close to some epiphany
Have your toes touch the lack of cement
Gather to one corner of the woods
And centerfold, humility shown
You're not as good as what your mama's sewn
Could you say you even tried?
You haven't called your family twice
I can hope tonight goes differently
But I show up to the party just to leave
Between the gaps, keep it under wraps
How I got to some epiphany
I'll convince myself when it turns to twelve
The photos keep the sentiment
Gather to one corner of the woods
And centerfold, humility shown
You're not as good as what your mama's sewn
Could you say you even tried?
You haven't called your family twice
I can hope tonight goes differently
But I show up to the party just to leave
Pulling back, I tried to find
The point of wasting precious time
I sip and toast to normalcy
I mock and imitate goodbyes
When I know that I can't deny
That I'll be here forever while
I show up to the party just to leave
