at least I'm writing something.
I'm Done
dear baby
does it make you nervous
to hear that word fall from my voice
slow, like a footstep
like I've got no other choice?
oh, baby
is that what you want to hear
that I dream of your palms against my face
sliding down like a solitary tear?
come on now, baby
this world's encased in ice where I can see
I'll tell you to come closer
see if you're as warm as me.
poor baby
why do you wait for sunrise
we've got twelve hours of this night
wanna step closer to the bars of my cage
and see if I don't bite.
want to be the star in my sky
the sun around my earth
the kneader and shape-shifter of this heart
like I don't know what it's worth.
oh, my baby, baby
you want to be the cape that flies me
the finish line I cross to win
the seeds inside my apple
the confessor of my sins.
but what if my feet are okay here on this unsolid ground?
what if I take the hare's approach to race
and my church walls will hear no sound?
what if I need no protector
and I'm the one to save my own day
you think your voice over bad connection is my highlight
but maybe I don't have anything left to say.
dear baby
don't go getting angry if this is a game that must be wonn
'cause I have always made my own rules
and I'm done
I'm done
I'm done.
