shallow factor

happy birthday mr president

CBMC - Make Time

were your words this rough dear
when you were young?
saying "i felt you inside me--here
like a lung"

tighten the rope
over and over
my hands stay soft
as they ever were

tighten the rope
over and over
my hands stay soft
as they ever were

naked in truth 
and a lie reconciled 
hold me close enough
 to pretend it will be all right

it will be all right

when your heavy lids finally close
is it still hard to sleep?
when you're thinking of 
every bruise i keep?

tighten the rope
over and over
my hands stay soft
as they ever were

tighten the rope
over and over 
my hands stay soft
as they ever were
