Lift

Singing this burden so weary and sore
The bundle I carry, I can't anymore
I keep losing my grip
On this weight I can't shift
My cuticles, ripped
It's too heavy a lift

It's too heavy a lift, too taxing a task
Too heavy a lift, an impossible ask
No matter how I brace myself and rally for the hit
It's a quest I must quit

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

I brought you up with me, tucked under my arm
But the dollhouse I built never suited your form
There were so many cracks
And I can't hold a stitch
I didn't know how to craft
You never could fit

It's too heavy a lift
These boxes I pack
So heavy a lift
A palpable lack
No matter how I outfitted you for the fight
I couldn't quite make it right

I've traveled the mists and appeased all the ghosts
I've built fortresses and turned trees into posts
Patched with scraps that I wear like they're gems
I thank you for them
I confronted the dragon
I've dashed across pits
I've unstuck some swords and I shined them with spit
Though I've bested the hordes and heaved them off of cliffs
It takes guts to admit
I'm not ready for this

I swept you in piles
Gingerly round my floor
There may still be some shards, but I can't sweep anymore

It's too fine of a grit
It's too big of a mess
It's too much to pick up, even though there's so
Little of you left

It's so heavy a lift, too much of a task
So heavy a lift, an impossible ask
No matter how great my love for you is
I'm not bigger than this

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
