Aaron Alon - Joseph/Jo Lyrics

Joseph was their hero
Joseph was their prize
Joseph was the dream of girls
The envy of the guys
Joseph was their future
Calm and sure and wise
Joseph was their perfect son
Joseph was all lies
Jo was always hiding
Jo was always scared
Jo was always buried
Never to be shared
Jo was always hoping
Someone might have cared
Jo had longed to come out
Jo had never dared
Living underwater
Felt safe and so serene
If I could hold my breath
I never would be seen
Joseph was dissolving
Failing to conceal
Jo beneath the surface
Blurring their ideal
Joseph was a fiction
Trying to be real
Jo was just a child
Trying not to feel
Staying underwater
There are worse ways to go
But when they pulled out Joseph
They found there's only Jo
My parents wanted Joseph
But wanted me to know
They'd rather bury Joseph
Than spend a day
With Jo
