You place your hand upon my back And trace a line like it's a map And my eyes are full of moon you said But I can't read your's so I go back to bed With a good book and a pill and a sense of loss And a tickle in my throat when the morning comes And I spin on my axis through another day And the light catches each fragment of my in a new way There's a darkness waiting on a flat calm sea At night I feel it breathe slowly on me And it's wings they beat the air in my lungs Oh Father I wish I could speak of these things Like we used to remember when I was young? But now it's like there's a knot in my tongue And forgive me if my words are jagged and cracked But it's because they're tired of being taken back I watch as a tear falls I watch it as it travels And make a pool in the hollow of your wrist And I will be I will be waiting There's no point in fighting This is what I'm here for after all of this
