Request

Can't recall a single thing
A carol for my heart to sing
Bringing to me comforts
From your attitude of need

Do not trust a syllable
That escapes when my head is full
Blistering me in this time
Without a space to breathe

Is it fair to call a truce
Escape these trappings of youth
Jump across this valley
Only to drown in sand

Does it reflect on my wit
If I feel I'd love to quit
You're asking me to do things, Lord,
That I do not think I can
