Am, Asus4 x 2
September 29, 1984. Dear so and so
Gather me up because I'm lost
Or am I back where I started from
I'm crawling on the floor rolling on the ground
I might cry, I won't go home
I am turning up in circles
And I'm spinning on my knuckles
Don't forget there are circles left undone
And very close to me
Forgive me, comfort me
I'm crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground
There's a blanket wrapped around my head
I'm moving in a line that's shaped like this
I'm...I'm holding in my breath
I have a room
Can you tell if I am lying
Don't forget I'm living inside the space where walls and floor meet
There's a box inside my chest
An animal stuffed with my frustrations
Can you hear me?
Don;t forget that I'm alone when you're away
You make me act like another people, do forgive me
Comfort me, you comfort me, you make me cry
I'm gonna cry, I won't go home
Doooooooooonnnnnnn't kill the god of sadness
Just don't let her get you down
See the man inside a book I read can't handle his own head
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
I wonder how he died
My hands are shaking, don't you love me anymore
I only need a person, keep my shoulders
Stand around, lie down, move your hand above the floor
(softer)
Gather me up because I'm lost
Or am I back where I started from
I'm crawling on the floor, rolling on the ground
I'm gonna cry, you look for me
Love Kristin
P.S. Keep them coming
