lyrics

I will light the fire, if you bring the wood
I will do what you think I should

I will do the dishes, if you fill the pail
I will try and try, and fail
I will think up dinner
if you think of me
If you listen honestly

I wish I had my permission
to position myself
where contrition bends to mental health

Or my disposition
was one of the kind
of a single-vision-driven mind

I will crack the kindling
if you hear my claim
that nothing breaks apart in shame

I will walk the dog, like I can walk the line
if you will value all my time

I might bear more weight
if you might bare your soul
in terms of what I need to know

I wish I had ammunition
to defend myself
from every demon in our living hell

Still I ask permission
though there is no sign
these demons are even mine

I will mind the birds
I will collect their eggs
I’ll hold the power of what they’ve made

And if we make nothing, what do we call us
where do I put my trust?

We had better take up heart, before we both get broke
or I’ll regret how fast I spoke
I will put out that fire I stoked
