I admire art on walls
that triggers
I fire bullets from my fingers
Just sketching out the anger
And the colors keep on talking
From the frame across the hall
Like they know my name
So please just sing us
Sing us something tender
Sing us something that can hold
what we can’t surrender
Sing us a song that lingers
Sing us a song that stays
Brings us together
Keeps the wild heart in its place
Sing us a song that lingers
(linger, linger)
Sing us a song that stays
That brings us together
Unites souls whilst unhinges
I married myself
after divorcing the worst part
and the cause of my offspring
I wore my own ring
To the bruise and back again
So please just sing us
Sing us something fearless
Sing us something that can meet
the wreckage and the mercy
Sing us a song that lingers
Sing us a song that stays
Brings us together
Keeps the wild heart in its place
Sing us a song that lingers
(linger, linger)
Sing us a song that stays
I know the split was sharp
I know the night ran deep
But I found a hand in mine
When I could barely speak
So let it crack me open
Let it make a space
For the part of me that chose
to learn my own name
Sing us a song that lingers
Sing us a song that stays
Brings us together
Keeps the wild heart in its place
Sing us a song that lingers
(linger, linger)
Sing us a song that stays
