As she’s hiding in her corners, flying high crashing down

The spirit says that she’s too gone to land safely now

Like a prayer ringing sun comes out, crying through clouds

And I’m on my knees, saying can you hear me

Looks for home in all the potions she thinks bring her relief

Waves a gun around the air like war could ever be for peace

Wings will burn pretty little bird

See the feathers by your feet

And I’m on my knees, saying can you hear me

Flashing lights, a moving bed, this time there’s less life more death

Lungs are fighting for a breath, eyes are shallow no depth

Is there strength for one more round, will the universe count to ten

And I’m on my knees, saying can you hear me

Wired hand lays limp and heavy, pale like sanitized sheets

Wish she’d wake to promise me this time she’ll really stay clean

Even when it hurts I always put you first

Please come back to me

And I’m on my knees,

Saying can you hear me

For you, cousin, and to anyone else who found themselves driven to the other side by the potions they needed to make the world a little quieter.
