You Weren't Meant to See That

I was in the other room

Just laying on the carpet

Sinking like a summer moon

Slipping through a tar pit

You weren't meant to see that

You weren't meant to see that

Of course, there's joy in the mundane

Like hauling down the highway

But then I swerved into the other lane and

Flipped over the barricades

You weren't meant to see that

You weren't meant to see that

I watched the windows shatter

As if it ever mattered

And for once in my life I see things for what they are

And not through the lens of profit and achievement

It's nothing when you need it

One of those fortune cookie proclamations

That I could never swallow

You weren't meant to see that

All the shit I should hold back

'Cause it's all in my head and I can see it through your swampy eyes

That I won't always be the only one for you
