You Stayed At Home

You stayed at home
I went to school
In a crowd of decimals
Said we’re indivisible
Traced a picture of a mule

You stayed at home
I went to work
In a brand new collared shirt
Through the field of monuments
Ran my fingers through the dirt
Can’t remember what we were

Start repeating what you heard
Soon you’ll grow to love the words
See the lion kill the bird
Use your pen to draw a sword
You’ve become a walking war

Drowning in your history
Scared of what you want to be
The future is a mystery
The punch line is infinity
Forever out in front of me
