lyrics

i know my mother but i don't:
the hint of sadness in her happy tone
the lives she left behind
before she gave me mine
i know my mother but i don't.

i know my father but i don't:
if he's at peace when he's alone.
locked out with just a towel,
head swiveling like an owl.
i know my father but i don't.

in the end our lives our dandelions -
they just scatter,
when a storm comes up the gulf coast.

i know my brother but i don't:
cryptic fonts for perfect poems.
in pohnpeii at dawn,
straps a machete on.
i know my brother but i don't.

i remember georgia but i don't:
rattlesnakes and blood-red clay.
the vowels my mouth makes,
whenever i'm afraid.
i remember georgia but i don't.

in the end our lives our dandelions -
they just scatter,
when a storm comes up the gulf coast.
