There are some things you can do
You can’t undo
I thought it right to explore each door
but others always close on you
Spray paint stain on your brainstem
Bubbles in your spine
Clocks start living in mirrors
The urgent steps of time
Secret codes in common words
That melt you to your feet
I thought I found a clean way down
But I was incomplete
Now I feel irradiated, ceiling ‘bove my head
The other folks that know this pain well
A bit bent up, but they ain’t dead
I think I know a fraction of a fraction of what you mean
I can’t compare my secret blood
To your timeless suffering
Each choice was in a haze
Each crucial moment went too fast
If that door would only open
I’d redo the past
I’ll hold you if you let me
I’ll leave you if you ask
I never wanted suffering
But that time’s already passed
