How Can I Help You?

Been coming on for days
The weather in your face
Tweaking out the twitch
And you’re not having it

Places I won’t go
Poses I can’t hold
“Effort, not results”
Stapled to my skull

Wish what you want
Keep your hands on what is

How can I help you push through yourself to me?
How I can help you tell me what you need?
When I see you full of fishhooks torn apart by every little thing
I freeze inside

Settling for days
Patient with the pace
Sugar in my throat
Take it for note for note

Breathe through the pain
Til it sings sweet and slow

How can I help you push through yourself to me?
How I can help you tell me what you need?
When I see you
I’m surrounded
Endless softness
Peonies and snow
I sleep inside

Nothing to know
You just do what you can

How can I help you push through yourself to me?
How I can help you tell me what you need?
When I see you gates unguarded
Aphrodite
Evidence of god
I’m free inside
