Let the water freeze on the doorstepKeep inside all the worries in your headStay warm like a sweater on an old manHow do you sleep at night, I wonder?Does the tension leave your bed?I've asked myself this question once or twiceBut I can't comprehendI just want to be remembered as the stapleThat held the pages togetherIs this too much to ask for?I just want to be rememberedLike the weather in the winterSo brisk, so fresh, so strongNever lose your focusYour sense of directionIs this too much to ask for?I just want to be rememberedLike a flood in the springYou will find beautyIn the act of drowningYou'll lose your focusThe notes, the purposeYour sense of directionYou've lost your motiveTell meIf these callused hands brushed the skin on your backWould it make you warm and content?Or would your spinal cord collapse?Let the wind chimes get the spotlightThey promise to sing us a lullabyIf they ever know we're listeningThey'll shut our eyesLet the water freeze on the doorstepKeep inside all the worries in your head
