You are the reason for the calluses on my toes
When you speak towards a fan and it distorts your voice
Your hands are so gentle against my skin but so rough against the paper
Calm down before the paper rips
You'll have to buy a whole new sketch pad
Eat slower sweetheart you'll choke
Tears smear words and lines
My arms aren't strong enough to hold up our burdens
Baby please make lighter strokes they're easier to erase
Here I'll help erase
Hold my hand I'll help you draw this line
God darling please breathe
You're tired of the pills
I'm tired of the medicine
Empty bowls and cheap water bills
Please eat
Please tape the paper
Please pick up the pencil
Please don't pull the plug
