i wasn't there   when my mother   and my father   saw in each other   stars and planets   spinning in sadness   but i think of it now   and i'm wondering how   it felt in the silence   and if the rest of life   felt more like an island      the honeycombs   depend on each other   for the structure   and survival of the hive   and although   they didn't choose it   living in eternity   is gonna prove it   as just exactly what was   meant to be      what were the neurons   in both of their heads doing?   were they singing a sad,   sad song?   and what could they say,   that they didn't think   already anyway?   did their spirits align   like they did at the time   that my fate as their daughter   was sealed in an   aquarian water?      when my mother   and my father   saw in each other   stars and planets   spinning in sadness   but i think of it now   and i'm wondering how   it felt in the silence   and if the rest of life   felt more like an island      the honeycombs   depend on each other   for the structure   and survival of the hive   and although   they didn't choose it   living in eternity   is gonna prove it   as just exactly what was   meant to be      i wasn't there   when my mother   and my father   saw in each other   stars and planets   spinning in sad, sad, sadness   felt around them   hearts and futures   swimming in sad, sad, sadness   saw stars and planets   spinning in sad, sad, sad, sadness
