Waiting outside a Hospital

The cover, a stutter

My lover sedated for fifteen days now

Their mother is weeping

I don't know why they've just been sleeping

I comfort the most that I can

But my body's weak and my mind is slipping

I get it, my friend

My partner for life is my love to the end

And what should I do

While I wait outside of the hospital

Praying God will come through?

Only you could ever contain all my conscious

This red string confines me

Oh, you are the flesh of my body, the red in my blood

Never-ending wires or the vials of the medicine

The monitor that rings all the time

Only you could ever contain me

The hunger

My mother is worried sick 'cause I cannot eat

And I know it, don't show it

Maybe I'll die, fall into your bedside

I'm trying as hard as I can

But your wrist and mine are becoming the same size

I get it, my friend

My lover, my baby, I'll find you again

'Cause what can I do

While I wait outside of the hospital

Praying God will come through?

Only you could ever contain all my conscious

This red string confines me

Oh, you are the flesh of my body, the red in my blood

Never-ending wires or the vials of the medicine

The monitor that rings all the time

Only you could ever contain me
