Oh… By the Way

@ predictive poetry 2026 Too little too late to the party Somehow everyone already knows What I just discovered It’s like that recurring dream There’s a big test I failed to study for ⸻ [Verse 2] They cut and baptized me Before I could say no That was the end of My confirmation I hate to be a disappointment But I never learned That dance to Uptown Funk Or that hometown cheer I always mess up The secret handshake I can’t recite The. Lord’s Prayer I was twenty-eight When they finally told me… “Oh… by the way— You were adopted.” ⸻ [Bridge] My thoughts wander… Has anyone ever calculated Just how much energy would be required Keeping one soul’s nightlight On for eternity? Does eternity hold a candle To infinity? ⸻ [Verse 3] If God tracks really all our Comings and goings… Heartache Jailbreak Make no mistake… I think I’m a vegan What we conceive Has been updated. He’s been upgraded. He knows Naughty and nice By searching our device. ⸻ [Instrumental Break] ⸻ [Bridge 2] Holy encryption Hieroglyphic Egyptian Megalithic ⸻ [Outro] Whatever awaits me… I wonder… Will I know what to say? It wasn’t me. … You made me this way.
