Sixty Stories - It's So Touching lyrics

rate me

Moments gather, intimate: familiar pavement, baby shit.

Hearts re-break along old lines. Like spreading urine stains.

Like fat fingers flailing in vain attempts to grasp a toy.

Like my seven year old walkman, it's immutable trademark:

Hiss so loud that music is rendered distant, still.

It is so grotesque. It's so touching.

It's so like and unlike things before.

These cow-eyed babies drool.

I touch their hands and faces tenderly and hold them close.

They unwittingly comply with sleep.

I steal back spurious love.

They stain my black shirt a darker black.

Execute these endless feedings, diapers, laundry, baths.

Dad, they pay me now for all the things that you held back
