lyrics

She saunters in. She draws the blind.
And I collect a broken mind
She breathes in deep. Thinks I don’t see.
But how can a ship never notice the lighthouse’s decree?

I hold a brittle breath to lengthen out the day
I won’t be scared if you won’t be strong
It’s simpler here when folk just play along

You can stay, if you wanna stay, you’re allowed to be on your way
If I twist and turn, it’s just the cure
I may strain, breathing through the pain
And this cancer may eat my brain
But I can still hold your hand without my spine,

I’m doing fine

I watch her read to me
Wonder when she’ll love again
Will they be sweet? Will they be tall?
Will they lift her high or will they bring the fall?

When all is said and barely done
Every bridge I lay stands to fall away
My muscle strands throb and fade day by day

Oh stay, baby, stay all day
I don’t care what the nurses say
Every barb I grow is just for show
This bitch ain’t merely carbon clay
And you’re the only reason they survived

So, baby, don’t let ‘em beat you down
No, don’t let ‘em beat you down
No, no, don’t let ‘em beat you down,

You’re doing fine
