Sympathy

Way to fight
You never threatened to stop breathing countless times
When I wouldn't make a sound to baby eyes
The whole thing is a fading senseless blur of concern
But I'm letting go of her

I don't know why it is
Isn't it obvious to me?
It's sympathy
I'm sure that after this
You don't fear anything at all resembling

All her might
Was it the force behind the family?
Bound and tied
Keep the bottle down to our surprise
Suspect you had discipline or nerve to convert
I just didn't think it'd work

For what we give to this
What challeneges persist
What battles we must fight
For what we give to this
A promise to resist
Stand with all your might
