The cover, a stutter
My lover sedated for fifteen days now
Their mother is weeping
I don't know why they've just been sleeping
I comfort, the most that I can but
My body's weak and my mind is slipping
I get it, my friend
My partner for life is my love to the end
And what should I do?
While I wait outside of the hospital
Praying God will come through
Only you, could ever contain all my conscious
This red string confines me, oh you
Are the flesh of my body, the red in my blood
Never ending wires or the vials of the medicine
The monitor that rings all the time
Only you, could ever contain me
The hunger, my mother
Is worried sick cause I cannot eat
And I know it, don't show it
Maybe I'll die, fall into your bedside
I'm trying as hard as I can but
Your wrist and mine are becoming the same size
I get it, my friend
My lover, my baby, I'll find you again
Cause what can I do?
While I wait outside of the hospital
Praying God will come through
Only you, could ever contain all my conscious
This red string confines me, oh you
Are the flesh of my body, the red in my blood
Never ending wires or the vials of the medicine
The monitor that rings all the time
Only you, could ever contain me
