And I can't, I can't
Help as much as I've tried so far
To make you okay
Okay, okay, I get it
I pushed you too far away
From normal
Your nervousness
System collapsed
From my solipsistic indirect attacks
Passed undetected
Venetian blinds
With steel plates attached
Your feelings protected
Won't you please react to the
Things that I say
Do what you need and I won't hold you back
I just want you to be okay
I want to be on your side
For now, for awhile
I know you're tired
We round our words like vultures in the sand
For the things we beat to death, collapsed
Tears seeping into preorbital cracks
Eyelids relax
They're venetian blinds
With steel weights attached
The fight has ended, can we end the night?
I'll just hold you too close and too tight
Maybe tomorrow we'll try to be fine, we'll try to be right
