We want you to act like nothing's wrong
Walk carefully in the dark
The human arrow
The animal error
Swallow hard against your inner horror- knowing you'll be alone forever
Marked, lost, and zeroed in the weather
You'll comply since we must move on
But you'll say the words like no one else has ever sung this song
Around and you, battered down
Until someone comes around
Someone who doesn't care where you're from
Or what you's been done
You saved for me a memory of my former-self but I won't ask if you promise not to tell
Lord knows we really never had much else
Well it slides in real slow
You slide out real slow
When she died she was just twelve years old
