I stretch to see
there just might be life inside of you
is what you need
what I can't keep myself from giving you?
with pain replete
I kept speaking even when I knew
you're in too deep
a shit-stained sea
that I can't swim through with you
I had a dream
of listening to Norah sing with you
about such things
as Seattle's spring and tiny rain boots
but it's just me
laying all alone and listening
to myself sing
I can't pretend that's all I'll ever
need
three lives to lead
through bastard's teeth who really oughta know
instead you breed
three lives beneath those stained glass windows
just down the street
from where my knees turned to black and blue
these words shall clean
and my peace with what you did to me
just when I think
my work's complete and I can forget you
I pace that street
and watch my knees turn blue
