Arbitrary Lines by Paper Plains from debut album Anaestalgia

lyrics

So Little Hamzah was four years old when the effects of neglect took their toll in the squalid bedroom that would serve as his tomb until they found him two years after he’d died – mummified and buried within.

Shit, at that age, I was full of beans – bouncing on my mate’s backyard trampoline or playing with my Batman figurines and hiding my eyes from the scary scenes in the movies my folks would let me watch, sitting either side of me on the couch. That disparity is just too fucking much for my laughably feeble mind to clutch: we’re only separated by the laws by which chance abides and the simply arbitrary lines by which out small world divides.

It seems petty and cheap to spend too much of my day sweating the little things that never went my way. If I’m not buried in a room that’s fetid and dank, I can thank my lucky stars that I have lucky stars to thank.
