lyrics

Even numbers never suited
Datun, only the odd felt safe
And safety wasn't easy
Safety wasn't easy
To come by
With no family, Datun tries friends
He’s never known love, all that he's ever
Learned is how to fight back
But the boys and girls don't like that
And he falls hard
Shouting, I didn't mean it
His words are like radio static
I tried to show you who I am
But you saw who I was
Slowly time passed
Datun the flower
Grew to outlast every weed
Who sapped and gorged and fed on
The foetus of dreams, the still-borns
They’re long gone
Now boys and girls ask Datun what happened
This marble statue above dust and ruin
He points to small inscription
That says, I’m those of you who listened
I shouted I didn't mean it
When my words fell like radio static
I tried to show you who I am
But you saw who I was
Shouting I didn't mean it
My words fell like radio static
I tried to show you who I am
But you saw who I was
I tried to show you who I am
But you saw who I was
