vengeance

I'm holding on for dear life
to vibrating lines
exploding from a single point in time
at 2 am
again and again
a looping thread
you, you are my vengeance
you split my soul
and made us whole
how is it right to bring new life
into all of this uncertainty?
how can you let
the bastards get all the hope?
you, you are our whole world
because we are your whole world

vibrate

if I stay still I can't move on with my day
if I stay still you will stay awake
bouncing like your mother used to do
bouncing like before we met you
I still use white noise to drown the silence out
but this is something I learned to live without
eventually you'll have to fall asleep
but 'til then you can vibrate with me
oscillate in time with our bodies intertwined
then one day you'll drift away on your own
hold your head in my hands 'cause you can't support it yet
but if I hold it too much you won't strengthen your neck
can you fall asleep without being close to me
or am I creating dependency?

leak

I am giving you more than all I got
it's a lot, it's a lot
and we're trying not to howl
at the passersby
when we remember what it's like
to go outside
and the house is a mess
we can deal with it I guess
I know I've lose my peripheral vision
we can crack as many times as we need to
we just can't break down at the same time
we can leak as long as we can patch each other up
to keep from emptying
I'm not keeping score
but we have to keep track
of his GI tract
on a goddamned app
and I forget all the time
I forget what it's like
to take a shit in peace
I'm in pieces I am fine
you had half a glass of wine
and I want to go to bed

helpless

you turned your head
to watch me play
I guess
it could have been a reflex
someday you're gonna hold
your head up on your own
searching for the tone
never alone
do you feel as helpless as I do?
is it cool if I don't know what to do?
do you feel as helpless as I do?
do you know I don't know what to do?
you looked dead
just dead asleep
I guess
it made me feel so helpless
I held you to my shoulder
felt your potential energy
you tried to wriggle free
it terrified me
do you know how helpless you are?
can you trust me to keep you from harm?

forgive me my mistakes
I don't have time for perfect takes
forgive me my mistakes
I don't have time for perfect takes
when you mess up
just keep going
no one will know by you
no one is paying attention long enough
to have a clue
and if they do, let them forgive you
if they do, let them forgive you
I have 10 minutes that aren't yours
when I'm not nap trapped or doing chores
more like 10 seconds that aren't yours
when I'm not nap trapped or doing chores
when you mess up
just keep going
no one will know by you
no one is paying attention long enough
to have a clue
and if they do, let them forgive you
if they do, let them forgive you
and if they don't, let them go
and if they don't, let them go, let them go
