Dear Hands, Write if you must but do not fall in love with the words Words cannot love you, they can hurt but you cannot bring a metaphor to a gunfight Dear Arms, Reach if you must but as far as you go its impossible to stretch across the world Instead grasp ones close that can extend your appendages Like gypsies cascading around a fire, show them how to glow becoming silhouettes to the dark Dear Heart, Fill with personalities if you must but do not be afraid to bleed How else could we prove our humanity? Be courageously prepared. Tattered hearts have always been my favorite anyway Dear Hands, Prevail if you must but you cannot bring a metaphor to a gun fight Dear Feet, Wander if you must but do not be afraid to run away I know your fast but do not overdue it Remove your shoes and sense the scenery Your shoes can only protect so much Do not fall for every girl with clean sneakers Dear Skin, Somehow hold this together but do not hide all the scars

Dear Hands, Write if you must but do not fall in love with the words Words cannot love you, they can hurt but you cannot bring a metaphor to a gunfight Dear Arms, Reach if you must but as far as you go its impossible to stretch across the world Instead grasp ones close that can extend your appendages Like gypsies cascading around a fire, show them how to glow becoming silhouettes to the dark Dear Heart, Fill with personalities if you must but do not be afraid to bleed How else could we prove our humanity? Be courageously prepared. Tattered hearts have always been my favorite anyway Dear Hands, Prevail if you must but you cannot bring a metaphor to a gun fight Dear Feet, Wander if you must but do not be afraid to run away I know your fast but do not overdue it Remove your shoes and sense the scenery Your shoes can only protect so much Do not fall for every girl with clean sneakers Dear Skin, Somehow hold this together but do not hide all the scars
