I’m waking up; I’m getting out into the daily motion
I’m placing bets; I’m rising up to meet your day
It’s presentation of the perfect family expectation
Tinseled evergreens are losing their display

Stop and starters, winter partners, under doormat key
Warrior weekends, shallow deep ends

I don’t ever want to hear they won’t give what you need
I don’t ever want to hear
I don’t ever want to hear they won’t let you be
I don’t ever want to hear

They’re just the product of a childhood better left forgetting
You’re so the picture of an image I have seen
There’s a synopsis in the boxes housed on storefront shelving
A case of delving as the week’s unraveling

Basement bargains, in-law jargons, buy one/get one free
Sibling rivals, heirloom bibles, half-lit family tree

I don’t ever want to hear they won’t give what you need
I don’t ever want to hear
I don’t ever want to hear they won’t help you be
I don’t ever want to see
