021 Strangers Sharing Space
Lyrics
mom, a house wife with those calloused palms
boiled those greens like mandatory psalms
kindergarten, i watched her near the gate
that restless girl who couldn't sit straight
dad in his suit, scrambling through the door
still grabbed the junk i'd been begging for
we were strangers then, sharing space
going through motions, saving face
now mom's clocking hours, chasing rent
no longer stuck in kitchen years spent
my wife sits tired, same old routine
reheating leftovers, those bitter greens
i eat them slowly, swallow the weight - it's duty
i'm chewing, not love - just fate
dad's home now, watching tv blur
we make small talk, forgetting what we were
we're still strangers now, sharing space
going through motions, saving face
next door, some guy i've seen around
turns out - my brother, same last name, same town
all those years, just plaster in between
two lives running parallel, never seen
mom shrugs, that's just how it goes
then my kid showed up with questions i don't know
a tiny puzzle piece i can't quite place
we're all strangers here, sharing space
going through motions, saving face
my son, he shoulders things i dropped
clears his plate while mine just stops
he eats those greens without complaints or fuss
wife looks older than she did with us
she's holding steady while i drift away
maybe he's better at this than me anyway
brother stops by, fills the quiet gaps
life feels crowded, but nobody maps
we're still strangers here, sharing space
going through motions, saving face
mom, my wife, dad on the couch
son and brother, neighbors in this house
this crowded life, this routine, this pace
all of them here - still strangers sharing space
