Dear me,
I left a letter for you
Telling you how to be yourself
The letter had many errors in words
But even my future self can justify those words
I laughed after every line
Because today became the future of pasts
And with many pasts combined
Today is just a pass from the past

I left a note for my future self
And hid it under the candy jar on the kitchen shelve
Still knowing my curious self
The note was a warning to leave the shelve
Just so I would leave the candy jar and save myself

I left a tip for my future self
A tip to always see in everything some sense
To remember the things I shouldn't forget
Question the meaning of regret
I wrote a letter to me
A letter to always be myself
And it was a terrible mess
Because mother found these notes and thought I needed help
Now I attend several deliverance services where they pray on my head
So tired now, I miss my own bed
If only I got one letter back from my future self
Maybe I could have avoided this mess
Avoided the river bath
The candle burn
The colorful concoction and the incantations
Maybe I could have saved mother from the clutches of spiritual houses
Maybe my sister would have more of mother's attention
They try to make me a true believer
Who do I believe when every week comes with a new redeemer
But I guess it was just a trick and I grew up too quick
So dear me, tell me
How do I fix mother
How do I fix me...
