I can’t make you here now 
I can only allow 
Life to make its way to me 
And set you free
From the shackles you chain
Around yourself like acid rain 
That just burns its way through
And if there’s anything we can do 
It’s to hold the might 
Of the fuel for our fancy in the candlelight
As everyone tries to blow it out 
And my mouth 
Reaches to you
So I could breathe my love into 
The lungs that you use 
To abuse
The air that turns into words
Because they all go unheard
By the great weight of swim 
I don’t know why I liked him 
I just did and it gripped hold of my soul 
My sister says I should just roll
In the sea for a century 
And turn into what she’s made of me
All sticks and stones
And brittle bones
She loves to break 
And I should forsake 
My soul for proprietary
But my heart just won’t let me 
It bashes me up against the wall
Then throws me over a waterfall
Til I’m all worn out and in confusion 
My brain is heavy with all the bruising 
It has taken 
And then I waken 
And look up into his eyes
And know a love that never dies
Again 
I thought I had given up on men
