Six Page Letter - Jackopierce

Put it all on a postcard

Get it off in the mail

Get a six page letter

Systems always fail

Out on good behavior

Carries the scars

Smock on the sender

Left behind bars

Laugh at the camera

Shadows with the light

Addresses the pages

You I don’t think she likes

She looks and she talks and she acts like

Her parents conditioned her to

She said she’d hold on no longer

It’s not time now

Can’t they wait until she’s older

'Cause the right thing

To take this weight down off her shoulder

Muzzled by militia

Conservative kind

We’re just here to help you, redirect your mind

They push and they pull and they hurt like

The Tether conditioned them to

Mediocrity’s found it’s servants

It’s not time now

Can’t they wait until she’s older

'Cause the right thing

To take this weight down off her shoulder

These years later

Faithfully agree

It looks inside the house

God, how I lost from the street

And they look and they talk and they act like

Her parents conditioned them to

Will she’d hold it together?

Will she?

It’s not time now

Can’t they wait until she’s older

'Cause the right thing

To take this weight down off her shoulder

It’s not time now

Can’t they wait until she’s older

'Cause the right thing

Is to lay with her and hold her
