I brush her hair off her forehead and kiss her goodnight.
'Sweet dreams for a sweet girl, don't let the bed bugs bite.'

wrapped up in historic lies.

To absorb knowledge that would be fed to me with a spoon,

When I die and am gathered unto my people,
if I can I'll look down from time to time.
I'll see how you are doing in this life,

You will see them in the nights sky.
A kiss is a dot of my love,
painted in the night sky above.
...
My dearest darling,
When you feel hurt talk to me.
When you think you're alone,
please come and see me.

Imagine innocent children asking simply 'Why? '

You go to the doctor to have it fixed or made new.
I'll have them cut open my chest and give me a heart.
