Tenterhooks

Moan and hold this out
Rainfall through my eyes
Sip at glass, swallow
Fade away

Nooks and hide away
Talk only to breathe
Hands that feel can't feel
Fade away

Black unless head burns
Bitter taste on tongue
Float with fear of fumbling
Fade away

Your arms protect me and hold me and don't let go
Not this time, this time he shouldn't be picked up
But you pick him up
You keep him safe from harm, he wishes and thanks you
You keep him safe from harm, he wishes and thanks you
You keep him safe from harm, he wishes and thanks you
You keep him safe from harm, he wishes and thanks you
As you pick him up
