I have mapped the cupboards and drawers Tracked the least walked spots on the floor Happy to be home, safe and warm As shadows by their feet The odd vanishing treat Quietly eating while they sleep So here's where I'll be raising my kids If I can find someone to start a family with 'Til then, I'll dream of the day my odds and ends fit I'll wake up, there'll be food on the stove Forever and never want for more Is thеre cheese in the grеat beyond? Rinds of parmesan Wine to water, night from dawn Life gets shorter, teeth grow long Mind me not, and I'll Mind my own, and my mind's Not one bite smaller or lesser than yours Do I belong in right and wrong? Nature, I guess One night one flung light through this place So I run for cover, over, under, left the rind out on the plate Little heart racing and praying, "Something, keep me safe" I think it saw my face Okay, one hungry day Is nothing come what may But then winter came inside for three nights Left me grinding my teeth between my walls And gripping my dreams tight Curled up, kept my head up, and put up the fight I'll make it through again I have before C'mon now, what's one more? Is there cheese in the great beyond? Rinds of parmesan Wine to water, night from dawn Life gets shorter, teeth grow long Mind me not, and I'll Mind my own, and my mind's Not one bite smaller or lesser than yours Do I belong in right and wrong? Nature, I guess Spring bloomed in the kitchen again So I crawled out of the wall and squinting Saw hope on the stovetop Just like I'd always imagined it More than I could eat My dreams were finally reality My struggles had a happy ending They must want to be friends My stomach starts to turn With thirst, why does it hurt? My just dessert is served, dig in So I stumble back to bed Something's not quite right Guess I'll just go rest my head Now, as I lay me down to sleep I expect no dreams And no sweet goodbye to me Flatline in the morning light I held on so tight For so long, it's just not right Let a sigh out as I close my eyes Was that all there was to this? What's for the best? Is there cheese in the great beyond? What's the moon made of? Meet me there after I'm gone Life gets shorter, teeth grow long Mind me not, and I'll Mind my own, and my mind Held the same light as the one in your eyes Do I belong in right and wrong? One dies alone, and why? Don't know Goodbye, so long To mice in homes Nature, I guess Nature, I guess Nature, I guess
