Choosing Not to Know

I’m glad you came to visit, Momma

This has been a really nice couple of days

Listen, Momma... there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you–

Oh, Trent- do you think we’ll have time tomorrow to see Grant’s Tomb?

‘Member how Daddy used to ask us who’s buried there...

Momma, wait. I just need to–

Oh, and the Brooklyn Bridge, and Central Park...

You cut me off, you close your ears

You turn aside just like you’ve done for years

You’re happy with the status quo

Why are you choosing not to know?

Momma, you know I’ve lived with Steven

My roommate, for 3 years now...

It says here that the cloisters is a division of the metropolitan

So, about Steven–

Momma

Trent, dear. I am reading my guidebook

It’s taken time

Churchgoers

We believe...

To gather nerve

Churchgoers

We believe...

I think the truth is what we both deserve

Churchgoers

We believe...

I’m tryin’ to say something loud and clear

Why are you choosing not to hear?

Churchgoers

The word is true

Momma, listen to me

There’s something I have to tell you

Momma

Oh, now hush, honey

Momma–

Shhh!

You already know. You know–

Trent-Michael, please don’t!

All I’ve got is the word of God

It’s the one thing I can hold onto while the world keeps changing around me

I wish your father were here

Oh it says in your bible my life is a sin

And a fight against god is a fight I can’t win

Once I say it out loud, then it can’t be undone

You already lost daddy, you can’t lose your son

You need to face

We believe...

The truth someday

We believe...

But just for now I’ll let you have your way

We believe...

I know you love me, but even so --

It’s clear you’d have to let me go

That’s why you’re choosing not to know (The word is true)

That’s why you’re choosing not to know (The word is true)

You’re choosing not to know (The word is true)

You said you needed a winter coat

How ‘bout we go to Macy’s and find a nice warm one?

Sure, Momma. That’d be nice
