Narcissus said unto his son go forth and find the other one
Narcissus said unto his son go forth
Narcissus said unto his son the one who was himself and such
go forth and find another one who seeks reflection
Narcissus was reparenting sayin' soothing things into the stream
He peered along the river's edge to see affection
Calendula and arnica and motherwort and summer storms
On shins and bruises knocking knees she don't make sense but she's all she needs
My father told me long ago could not recall very much at all
I didn't tell him I could see his face reflected back at me
Narcissus said my family's gone go forth and find another one
Who listens at the river's edge and sees reflections
My business bans big banishment I see myself go on and faking it
Remembering friends I can't recall the names of since they're better now
I swear I'm doing better now - better than I been
I still get sad when I read my texts and think how I was back then
