Hush

February 8, 2019

Hush little baby, don’t you cry
You can always come home, won’t ask why
34 years of constant motion
Trying to fill a cup with the whole damn ocean
No one would be surprised

But even when your tears won’t dry
A little voice in your head says try a little
You’re never gonna stop, never gonna stop
You’re never gonna stop I know

Big old needle you’re trying to thread
Big old dreams, big old head
You been riding a tiny unicycle
Across a tight rope for quite a while
The feet go before the eyes

When you’re out on a limb, fresh out of branches
That voice in your head says take your chances
Never gonna stop, never gonna stop
You’re never gonna stop I know

Now you’re getting restless
You can’t leave til you get this

But hush little baby, you’ve got time
You can always stay, I don’t mind
You’ve spent your life on chutes and ladders
Reaching for the stars through dark dark matter
Darling, y’always come out fine

Cuz even when you lose your way
A little voice in your head says play a little
You’re never gonna stop, never gonna stop
You’re never gonna stop, never gonna stop
You’re never gonna stop, never gonna stop
You’re never gonna stop
I know
