A Conversation

In my paralysis, you were a shaking fit

Beneath eyelids that carved out my silhouette

The drug that's just impossible to quit

My golden string for my all in bet

 

I'm off the edge, for the fall of faith

God said "Kid, you gotta carry that weight"

 

And I feel it heavy in my breath

This is my trust in love and my sudden death

I have your name written across my lips

And its spilling out like a sinking ship

 

I'm jumping in, I'm trusting you

You said "Kid, that's the dumbest thing you could do"
