Keep Me Warm
i am never as stable as i want to be
what did –
my parents build me upon
was it every sad song
that they had heard
i will love you
and i will try to ignore the weather
i will try stability
and i will try being much better
sadness enters me and it fills my eyes
but help me –
push the dark clouds from my skies
i fall in love with fake idols
who find me with their arms
and my internal fantasies
try to do me harm
i am never as stable as i want to be
but please, do not be alarmed
find me in your loving hands
and just keep me, keep me warm
