The Endless Fiord
You wield your illness like a sword,
Cutting me to the quick
Nothing is right, face monitored
Yes, yes, I know that you are sick
-----------------------------------------
Your body’s betrayal tightens the cord
Stranglehold trips the music
Stilts the dance leaving us floored
Yes, yes, I know that you are sick
--------------------------------------------
I am one, many lists on the board
The clock continues to tick
Empathy sees your spirit once soared
Yes, yes, I know that you are sick
--------------------------------------------
Into a vacuum our lives now poured
Trapped in this dangerous slick
Unspeakable pain, an endless fiord
Yes, yes, I know that you are sick
----------------------------------------------
What purpose served, justice scored
No stemming another kick
Disease and demons keep lives whorled
Yes, yes, I know that you are sick
-------------------------------------------------
Faithful, you pray, please dear Lord
But anger is my cement
Keeping me whole, pushing toward
Yes, yes, I know that you are sick
