Are you afraid?
Like I’m afraid
Not brave enough to turn the page
Are you in pain?
Like I’m in pain
Nothing’s ever gonna be the same
I need to talk to you
Was it the cancer, or the drugs?
Who do I take this up with?
Extemporaneous
Make it all up as we go
Living in the trauma
Wasting away
I disassociate
Drift away a little further every day
Lost in the wake
Of these crashing waves
The guilt I get to live another day
I need to talk to you
But I can’t call you on the phone
I just need to hear you
Feels like we’ve been dreaming this
How could any of it be real?
You have always been here
Hey, wait
I’ve almost caught up to you
This shape
Is only a passage through
