lyrics

A Kick in the Ribs

I’m not the rabbit that sat on your deck all summer
Waiting for you to come out
While you watched Netflix chain smoked and wrote poems
Holed up inside of your house

I’m more like a mirror that helps when you’re bleary
And tries to reel you in

I’m not your aunt Cindy who says you look pretty
Even when you gotten too thin
I’m not your postman who flirts through the window
I’ll mean it when I ask how you’ve been

I wanna be realer help you see clearer
Everyone always blows smoke

Maybe a shower I’ll make a sandwich
And sort through the bills on the table
I can’t sit idle hands tied immobile
Watching you grow more disabled

I’m not your mother who never comes over
And sends you the checks in the mail
Then when she calls up you never answer
Somehow she feels like she’s failed

I try to be better we all need some pressure
Or maybe a kick in the ribs
