Like Nothing Ever Happened

Sometimes werewolves take me away
To the dark forest where the bears eat bad children
My mother yells as I freeze
Father kills bear, wolves let me be

We ran up to the attic, played with all the matches,
Burning my pet ants while listening to static

Broke the ceiling fan while jumping on the mattress
I look at you and pretend like nothing ever happened

Drank a cherry coke while playing with their ashes
Fight off the vampires, hide under the mattress

You kissed me in the dark to break the awkward silence
I look at you and pretend like nothing ever happened

Oh it's good to be one of us
Oh it's good to be young and dumb
Oh it's good to be one of us

We ran into the river
Mother took Polaroid picture
Affixed it to the refrigerator
So all our aunts/ants can see how much we have grown
