Kills Me

Unsaid you pose a question,
I hear it in your voice-
Will we be friends forever?
Like we even have a choice.
Struggle through our madness,
push through all the tears,
Paul Simon was spot on,
"still crazy after all these years."

So, I will be your carpet
but let me clarify,
not the carpet that you walk on,
but the carpet you can fly.
We'll soar above the clouds
like we used to do.
For those who have wings baby,
the sky is always blue.

So, I'll always answer your call
'cause we have been through the darkest days
and somehow survived
in spite of it all
but watching you fall
kills me.

Constantly resenting
the beating of your heart
like suicides a virtue,
quoting lines from Sarté.
But baby there's no exit,
though riddled with self doubt,
your mind is like a fire
that nobody can put out.

So, I'll always answer your call
'cause we have been through the darkest days
and somehow survived
in spite of it all
but watching you fall
kills me.

Slurring words of venom
from the pills you have imbibed,
your problems must be problems
when your problems are prescribed.
This ain't no ultimatum,
this ain't no vulgar test,
just a song of worry
from a friend who loves you best.

So, I'll always answer your call
'cause we have been through the darkest days
and somehow survived.
Oh, I'll always answer your call
'cause we have been through the darkest days
and somehow survived
in spite of it all
but watching you fall...

'Cause we have been through the darkest days
and somehow survived
in spite of it all
but watching you fall
again.
And again.
And again.
Kills me.
