Hallucinate about my mother

How she left 10 years ago

“She’ll be there when there is trouble”

Humming birds would tell me so

My father took me to the river

Told me stories about the sea

Guns and cannons made me shiver

Instant noodles, endlessly

If they were still around

I’d be flying underground

Like butterflies in boxes

I’d be dying without sound

I was in a Candy Store

Loved the sugar, wanted more

Now the colours wash away

Bedroom walls dissolve to gray

I was in a Candy Store

Loved the sugar. wanted more

I decide to go outside

And taste the sun

Before I say goodbye

Before I say goodbye

Tomorrow I will buy a boat

To sail the everlasting sea

'til l I find the secret river

Only father really knew

I will look at my reflection

Realize I’m older now

Turn the bitterness and rejection

Into sweeter things somehow

I was in a Candy Store

Loved the sugar, wanted more

Now the colours wash away

Bedroom walls dissolve to gray

I was in a Candy Store

Love the sugar wanted more

I decide to go outside

And taste the sun

Before I say goodbye

Before I say goodbye

Before I say goodbye

Before I say goodbye
