Pair

(album: Drift - 2022)

There's blight in the blood
There's in vitro bills to pay
At least you're a cheap date on anesthesia
Been trapped there for years
The congrats' in the skylight, outside the emergency room
Joy and despair, they come as a pair here
In this place of lost thank you's
In the way the pain shakes you in its waves
As they take it from your womb
There's grace in waiting for life
When your frame can't contain
Lou, this trying has been trying
And I'll carry you when either you carry or you don't

There's love that longs for more
There's loss we can't afford
Before we burn and finally leave
The smoke and clouds will look the same
I'll be the dust in your lungs as I drift away

Before we burn and finally leave
The smoke and clouds will look the same
I'll be the dust in your lungs as I drift away

Before we burn and finally leave
The smoke and clouds will look the same
I'll be the dust in your lungs as I drift away
