Bury your hands in mine
Little wrists as cold as low tide
Veins are thin
Divide the ribbons
Don't leave me here
I can't see you on another dying bed. i'm your only son
I need you to stay no matter what it takes
Stay here long enough
If you need me to take the cancer
And inject it into my veins
Cancer
You are my dying father
I miss you more than you'll ever know. i miss you more than i'd ever say
I miss you like my grandfather's death. i never had a chance to say goodbye. rest your talons on a highwire
Resting your neck against my wing
My own unwedded self-destruction seems so comforting
Mostly at these times
When are you coming home
I've been waiting here for so long. when are you coming home
