Medicine

Your father's cabin
 Your mother's strength
 Your brother's sense of self
 All the years in high school
 Wishing you were somebody else
 All the secrets told in a haunted house
 With ghosts you've leard to trust
 I am letting go of me and becoming us
 ♪
 That song that made you cry in the car
 On the drive to Delaware
 The anger that you feel when people stare
 I'm becoming okay with giving you a piece of my control
 A new kind of shared autonomy for you and me
 I will help you breathe
 I will not deny that I
 That I need you in my life
 Would you say it?
 Just say it, so do I
 And you can be the pills that help me sleep
 I'll be the medicine that keeps you awake
 I'll keep you awake
 I float through it all
 Without ever knowing
 What being here is about
 But when you're around
 It feels like I've figured it out
 And some nights you will need to sleep alone
 And that's alright
 But is it alright if that's not tonight?
 I will not deny that I
 That I need you in me
 Would you say it?
 Just say it, so do I
 And you can be the pills that help me sleep
 I'll be the medicine that keeps you awake
 I'll keep you awake
