Information Asymmetry

A kid who knows everybody's secrets and has to hold the family together without letting on. I know what it's like to be the one who sees more than you're supposed to and keeps quiet to keep the peace. Also, she's adorable.

Waku waku!

I hear the static in the grocery line
Reading the secrets that are yours and mine
Dad’s a shadow and Mom’s a blade
But they think I’m just a part of the charade
I’ve got a secret that’s better than most
I can hear the thoughts of every ghost

Mission critical, world on the line
Trying to make the stars all align
It’s a long way to the top of the class
But I’m seeing through the looking glass
Just give me the crunch of a roasted shell
I’ve got a story I’ll never tell

Staring at the paper but the math is a blur
Trying to keep the peace for him and for her
The elegant teacher is losing his mind
While I’m looking for the clues I’m supposed to find
I’m a tiny bridge in a cold, cold war
Wondering what we’re even fighting for

He’s lying
She’s hiding
The big house is full of the things they don’t say
But I’ll find a way to save the whole day
Just don't make me eat the carrots on the plate
I’ve got a world to fix and it shouldn't have to wait

Mission critical, world on the line
Trying to make the stars all align
It’s a long way to the top of the class
But I’m seeing through the looking glass
Just give me the crunch of a roasted shell
I’ve got a story I’ll never tell

So exciting!
The secret is safe with me
As long as there's plenty of peanuts
Sparkle!
