Barbara 2.0

Look at this stuff God, it's depressing You don't like this stuff? Barbara, this is our stuff A shrine to the feelings We've been repressing Well, then maybe we should go Half finished projects Meaningless objects Plans I abandoned or quit It's the stuff of our lives And all of it's shit What? Barbara! Books on computers A "spin-your-own-yarn" kit? (Okay, that wasn't as much fun as I thought it'd be) Home-brewed kombucha That tasted like armpit (We are not kombucha people, we did find that out) Take it and trash it Burn it or smash it We have to adapt to survive We can be fighters With fire inside us We're more than detritus We're finally alive The Barbara you married She is dead and buried Six feet below And now Barbara the doormat She's coming back in a new format Time to let go Say hello To Barbara 2.0 I never even used this And then I felt bad that I never used it Break it Barbara, you're right I think I've been hiding (I was too, I don't even like pottery) Stuck out of sight Like my un-used aluminum siding (We are not aluminum siding people) Tragic and static Trapped in this attic Now Adam is shedding his skin No more excuses We're no longer useless We've got nothing to lose We can finally begin The new Adam is wiser The old one's fertilizer It's time to let go Say hello I'm tired of doors To better or more We could just walk But we've done that before What we cannot ignore Is Lydia needs us That must be the reason she sees us Adam, I wanna stay She needs people who won't run away Friends who don't stop at problems or obstacles Not a house But a home Ready, set, let's go Time to let go 'Cause the new upgraded Maitlands Are charging out the gates and They're gonna unload Say hello To Maitlands 2.0 Maitlands 2.0 Maitlands 2.0
