The Green Pajamas

Holden Caulfield


Holden Caulfield spoke to me
Called me on my sincerity
And all the crap that I accepted
The way things have to be

Holden Caulfield spoke to me
Called me on my fear of falling
All the edges I'd imagined
That only I could see

I need someone to stick up for my lack of spine
I could never voice my resentment, everything is fine
The only refuge of the day to day is turning pages, turning pages

Holden Caulfield spoke to me 
Called me on my will to lose
And all the bait that I have taken
The failure that I choose

Holden Caulfield spoke to me
Between the lines behind the words
I hear, but I don't want to listen
To lessons there to learn

I need someone to give me the benefit of doubt
I could never swallow my pride, always spit it out
Even though you're my imagination, I can turn to you, I can turn to you
