BIRTHDAYS
(Lia Hide)

Birthdays and happiness citizens
Barrels of fun and the barrel of a gun
Loaded with happiness on a ship
Filled with stars and off to the Mars

Tiniest of people with pink pop balloons
Off to the moon, aging too soon
With their birthdays and cakes filled with lemonade
Bitter and sweet and wrinkles too deep

Birthdays with no silly carnival,
No New Year's Eye, no Jack-up-your-sleeve
Christmas and Easter's like Mondays
And you have to stay, pretend it's ok

Trapped in your house like a laboratory mouse
A bored little spouse, that waltzes to Strauss
With a ballgown of TikTok-pyjama-style
Posting meanwhile a forced ugly smile

Birthdays got lost in the calendar
Twenty times two a year painted blue
Paused in our armchairs in streaming life
Seasons would change, days washed down the drains

Promised a future but stuck to this now
I'll make it, I vow, but I don't know how
And I'll paint into Birthdays all every days
Spring, summer, fall and winter in gold

Promise I'll make it and you'll make it too
This too shall pass, so raise up your glass
And I'll paint all our Birthdays in glitter dust
Sparkling and bold, to have and to hold
