I’m skating on thin ice arguing with him
And I never know when I’m gonna fall in 
Into the water beneath
I see the cracks under our feet
And get the sense it’s going to break 
Before the dawn can wake
Us up from the cold
I was brave and I was bold
But he knew where I was weak 
And so I could not speak 
About what I knew
Though I tried to communicate it to you
The wilderness ensues 
The wolves come and devour the blues
I had reserved for you
I’m not red coz you wanted to
Warm your hands by the fire 
You are deeper but I am higher
Opposite sides of the same spectrum
And he’s always worried that I will reject him
If he only knew 
That he is every page I ever rifled through
Searching for the one
And the Son
Of Man is beautiful 
But he is not made of cotton wool
And every time I reach out to touch
You it feels like I hurt you so much
So I withdraw my arm
Say “it’s just a false alarm”
I wouldn’t worry about me
I’ll get over the history
We share
And you dare 
To splice the tape
And I escape
Out the back door
But I slip in an “I love you more”
