Old Man C
words/music: MZ

To your old man, I thought I was the sea
but to come find out, in actuality
I'm just one of many minor tributaries
Just goes to show how wrong a man can be

In my field of wry, thought you'd be catching me
as if a body should a body see
and then you'd be Holden me so Caufieldly
that shows how desperate a man can be

As I flow right through you consciously
The merest ripple in your stream
As I wash up apon you I see you're not sure
What a wave is for

Sat down to write a note, say why I've gone
Turned into a novel, 50 pages long
Full of lame reasons and analogies
To your old man, I thought I was the see
