Play It Out

When my body can no longer make a mother of me, will I change my notion of time?

Or will you change your mind on me and I'll be something to leave behind?

When I scatter ashes in the river's water, will I change my notion of family?

How long before I'm happy again and I see those who still surround me?

I will rule the world, rock the cradle with a babyless hand.

Just watch me build castles in the hourglass sand.

Mind still here screaming in the void from the empty breath. In my mind, I didn't put it there. What's some other fucker's plan?

I wanna age with excitement, feel my world expand. Go gray and feel delighted.

Don't just look sexy on a man. Just let me play it out.

Just let me play it out.

When

I get there, a place and time where life brings me elsewhere, will I change my notion of self?

In sickness and in health,

I promise to love and cherish myself.

Oh, rule the world, rock the cradle with a babyless hand.

Just watch me build castles in the hourglass sand.

Mind still here screaming in the void from the empty breath. In my mind, I didn't put it there.

What's some other fucker's plan? I wanna age with excitement, feel my world expand.

Go gray and feel delighted. Don't just look sexy on a man. Just let me play it out.

Just let me play it out
