yours and yours alone

This is methodological
insistently illogical
so send the pain below
force it through your pillow
smile at the sweet thought
for all the love we brought
I haven't changed just for the pain
I tore off the skin to show the stain
hide no more loss and stand for the gain

yours and yours alone
so stand up before it
clutch, shift and floor it
hands out to the sky

My father's pride and joy
sad broken soldier toy
can't be wound to do
march to my own beat
stand up to the heat
stubborn is as stubborn does

This is your responsibility
sought through the probability
your mind crosses your heart
making it all fall apart
odd as it is peculiar
it's Perpendicular
90 degree angle leaves nothing parallel
jealousy sends your pain below down Josephs well
this is us suffocating
broken down and pleading

yours and yours alone
so stand up before it
clutch, shift and floor it
hands out to the sky

Lend me a light
I've lost my sight
deaf, dumb and blind
I'll rip through the bind
we'll walk our path together and alone
hold hands and send out our hearts on a loan
because in the end we're left on our own

yours and yours alone
so stand up before it
clutch, shift and floor it
hands out to the sky
