Smaller Home

by Margaux Bouchegnies

on More Brilliant Is the Hand That Throws the Coin (2019)

Crossing over, eyes closed in the past
Going back
In this bedroom, something left behind
Out of time

I'd like to think about the things that
Changed since when I was last home
Is it smaller now?
And did you think about the things that
Change me? Does it even matter?
Will you be the same?

I'm on my way
I'm moving every day
Can't stay an age
Speak like I've gone away

Looking for a story
Of a kid I'm sinking in
Older, stronger, wiser
Think I am, I think I am

Stuck in edges of a chapter
One foot holding on to
After, and all it complicates
Dreaming something that is clear and
Time takes longer than you think, dear
Did you want this still the same?

I'm on my way
I'm moving every day
I'm on my way
I'm moving every day
Can't stay an age, can't stay an age
Speak like I've gone away

Ahhhh...
Ahhhh...
Ahhhh...
Ahhhh...
Ahhhh....
