On mornings like this
I almost forget
I just went five minutes without
It answering my head
And then like a solid
Hunch in the guts
I remember
I remember
I remember
And think how could I forget Oh I remember when he
Was only five
Laying the table
With the good folks and knives And it's different when you know them
It's different when
you know them It's different when you know them
It's different when you know them
The Camry in the driveway hasn't started
for six months and It's got a plastic sheet for a window
From the night he punched it
And now it takes three buses to get to the
facility
But I still make the trip
Three times a week I remember
I remember I remember
The phone call When I finally knew
Felt like a screen door hadn't even opened
But wind just blew right through me
When I get home
I open up his room
The afternoon sun shines on Skeletor and Doctor Doom
I know what it's like to hold
Your own flesh and blood
How could he do that to the little body that he loved
And it's different when you know them
It's different when you know them
It's different when you know them
It's different when you know them
