Let's say you're driving down the road with your eyes closed But my eyes are closed too I lie on my back and look up at the sun Then back down to the water I depend on someone not to abandon me He is just as scared as me Take your sadness down to the river and throw it You are still left with the river Let me live I pour the coffee down my throat like it is Holy Water Save me Wake me To open the eyes that were closed

Close It Off
If I would cut the parts off and trade them the skin and lumps we push, and shove Into new jeans To shimmy, squeeze, jump and jam Run and jog and walk and skip -the dessert and lunch Cut it off and trade it to someone who could use it Not me Not you Slice it off- watch yourself go down                                                             down                                                                       down Or just cut it off and trade it
