I can tell that you’re scared of turning into your mother,

and I can feel myself turn into my father.

So we can lie to ourselves like they do and say we’re still happy.  

I guess it’s easy when you’re young and you still want it so badly. 

On a cold day in April she sat on the cliffs that met the Pacific Ocean.  Her mother had an angry face and a sad heart.  Frustrated with her incomplete life, she remembered when her mother would leave sometimes, or turn to her room and lock the door.  Lately she found herself desperately doing the same.  How long would it be until her face, too, grew long and lonely.  How many years until she stayed too long with someone she did not love, both of them still wandering in search of the one they waited for.  She seemed to almost embrace it as she pushed the image away.  I can tell that you’re scared of turning into your mother.  What a horrific image it was.  Her mother was a bird trapped in a copper cadge she had created for herself.  Her endless sadness was what scared her more than anything.  (All I Ever Wanted from All I Ever Wanted Live EP)
