Look Ma! - Benjamin Francis Leftwich

Look ma, the wind’s stopped blowing

And I see that that means nothing

There’s more to a storm

And all the wires are down, and there is not a sound

But I pray just for today, yeah

Look ma, I ain’t done growing

My blind eyes are slowly opening up again

Sun overhead

By now, denial is breaking

I’m over the fake love-making

As a way of quick escape

Through the chaos and the calm

Found some comfort in the harm

And I fall apart

Look ma, some winds still blowing

I’m over pretending knowing it all

As I hit the floor

It’s gonna be a long, long day

Looking for a long, long winter

Planning on an easy way

To get around the whole thing quicker

Trick of the mind for a minute

Was only lying to myself

Pushing my luck to the limit

Putting the poison in the shelf

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
