Laughter

lyrics

Well rob i've only got so many characters in this invitation
But i wanted to say i was sorry for the stuff that i did to you when we were kids

Gosh nathan we may been kids when it began but over time we aged
and you didnt relent in the slightest and we inexorably became young men /

I’m glad you remember because i sure do I can only hope that my daughters treat
others with respect and are treated with respect.
I wish you and all those around you the absolute best of wishes.

I remember how you set fire to my hair held me down fingers pried my eyes
wide open Put a piece of glass right on the meniscus of my shrieking movement

Im not looking for Karmic relief and I completely understand if you prefer not to respond to this.
How could I not because all these years I’ve been hearing the sound of your laughter


You may remember that I was put into a mental institution/secure youth facility
as a result of you and your pals 'hobby'. During the time that you were having your fun

it may interest you to know that my mother attempted suicide on
multiple occasions, several times right in front of me.

I hope you never have to watch someone you love open their veins in front of you
with a kitchen knife and then have to apply a makeshift tourniquet with a Chip & Pepper T-shirt.

I was released from the facility ( a fresh hell that could fill a thick book)
and upon regaining some small vestige of my sanity found myself in a school with,

wait for it, you and your coterie. And all I remember was the the roiling build
Echoing through the halls of the piercing sound of laughter


Let me get just one thing good and straight
You went and made two mediocre copies of yourself
And now you don’t want nothing bad to happen to them
That’s got to be just about the most pathetic thing I heard in my life
Some things you just can’t take back

After some initial torment you lost interest in your hobby.
What pursuits you substituted I can only imagine.

Perhaps it involved pulling the legs off of insects. I don't know.
In the years that followed I developed a variety of addictions,

Unable to formulate even the most basic level
of trust between myself and others, haunted by the weakness and horror

As the years wore on, I was able to construct
some vestige of what you may describe as 'a normal life'.

You're right. You could not have possibly
been a worse kind person.

That's the thing. People like you get to live your lives

do things like go to school, go to college, meet a girl, raise a family,
buy a house, watch the game, flip some burgers on the BBQ,
While people like us get to put the pieces back together in the wrong order over the course of decades.

And all I remember is the sound of laughter
