You are only
Required
For one night
So I can prove
To myself
That I’ll be alright
"All my life's buried here, heap earth upon it"
You are only
Required
For one night
So I can prove
To myself
That I’ll be alright
It is
No longer
Up to me
It’s so
Far out
Of my hands
Now
I only hope
For a sturdy rope
And that,
One day,
You’ll understand
