Julien Aklei - Curtains

it’s time to rise & shine
mama pulls back the curtains
i’d like to mama, but
inside there’s something hurting
it’s hard to brush my hair
hurts when i walk down the stairs
breakfast with a vacant stare
then catch the bus for school
sun always rises
when it’s time to start a brand new day
but in the evening
the sun just turns and walks away
disappearing when it’s inconvenient
you say it ain’t real if you haven’t seen it
you say you love me but you don’t really mean it
high in the sky but you’re ready to leave it
good morning papa
you know i don’t wanna see you
hairs on your chest, papa
you know i don’t wanna feel you
got to ride the bus to school
act like a kid try to act real cool
walk down the stairs when it hurts so cruel
got to brush my hair but not for you
papa so sorry
that you’ll never know the feeling
to love somebody–
it just feels so appealing
barb wire can cut you too
when you fall from the sky and it hurts so cruel
when you’re all alone & the night turns blue
when there’s no one left to hate but you
