lyrics

if there was a way i
could help you without enabling
your chronically bad behavior
without giving you someone to show off
your arm
and the scars
you think made you who you are
helped you make art

i wish i could show you
you don't need a reason
to make what you want to make
or a list
detailing a long history of abuse
or a tendency to self destruct

i know, i know
i know it's not fun to be the things you're supposed to be
and i know it's not funny to me
when you say
you'll die
in the blink
of an eye
you say no one will notice
you say no one will notice
you say no one will notice but me

i wish i could make you
put on your big girl pants
but you are incorrigible
i can be sucked into that whole
constantly on my phone
in case you decide tonight's the night
and you want to say goodbye

i know, i know
i know you'll get better if that's what you want to be
and i know you can be successful, dead, or happy
and i can't
be here
to watch
you go
in any of those directions
i can't be your protection
i can't be your protection

decline call.
