Sister Species 2

Blurry vision and a fear of the dark

A patched up tire bound to pop

A coin operated boy, a girl in a box

I collect things I just look at

Intentions never are enough

I'm someone I've been used to

I'd win a hundred on a scratch off

And spend it on a new haircut

I'd tell myself a man's a man

So try not to expect too much

I'd never skip a photobooth

I'd never pass up pumpkin pi

Memorialize my every move

I'd swear to always read the signs

It's something I'd get used to

Everything I wanted to be

Or a sister species

They say ambition's a curse

You make it look so easy

Piled up at your door

I guess it's adding up

But simplicity

It could be enough for me
