When joy scrapes onto my face

And epiphanies are all I taste

Why can’t I preach it for everyone’s sake?

When my heart drowns in fright

And I’m blinded by the night

Why is it dimmer when she shines her light?

When I give my loving affection

And she won’t run my direction

Why does she limp with a lasting affliction?

When our story’s started the same

And she claims to be insane

Why can’t I ease her inner pain?
