Flashing lights I see around
On the phone the doctor says now
It’s clear to see that something’s not okay
So don’t work today, it’s not okay
And don’t tell me it’s gonna be okay
Because I know “okay” and it feels as though we’re slipping away
And something keeps it going every time
And even though you say, “You’re mine.”
It doesn’t feel like that
It’s cold outside, of course we’ll hide,
We’ll make it there some other way
Why must we fight or even try?
We’ll make it there eventually
And the flame fills you on
And it feels like you don’t belong
And the flame withers your insides
Something keeps it going every time
And it can’t get off, even if you try
And you wash away, but you still feel the line
Just know, you’re fine
