tomorrow i’ll listen

tomorrow i'll listen i promise

in the morning i'll turn it around

my ear to the ground

climb your family tree

and hug you

you'll melt into me

finally

where before i was up all night

now i'm with you at dawn

as we try to switch places it is impossible you see

because we can't not be ourselves

and because i was born of you so thoroughly.

we are bound and i'll carry your tears until you're gone, until I die

as others try to carry mine

and as i am of myself i can’t tell

what you see in me

I’ll have no reason to hide but i probably will

until the end of it all, until it's all gone

but i'll still remember how you drove away when i was so bad

You couldn't handle the violence inside

I wanted to die, but got a dull blade instead

and i'm so sorry

I will stay in my place until

I hang my grief on your hospital bed

and tell you my heart
