I Will Carry You
Islème Sassi (2017) for Tyler
No, I wouldn't claim to know you
Those few times
We spoke only a thousand words
I don't know where you live
Whether you remember your dreams
In the morning when you wake
Are you scared of anything
I don't know nothing
About your family
Do you like them
Do you celebrate Christmas or don't you
Do things like that
I don't recall the colour of your eyes
How did you slip into the inner core
Roots down deep you plant your seed
Out of reach and I can't do but carry you
Yes, I might be mistaken
It could be all happening in
My own reality is bright
Shining like
The future don't scare me no more
I am cast in thoughts of you when I wake
In the morning you are there
I might mean nothing
To you I'm just another girl
What can I do but shoulder you
There lies beauty in giving in
There lies truth in letting go
I never really know
Do you win only when on top
I'm on the floor on my back tasting blood
I don't mind
I don't really
Mind cause and effect
Mind the conservation of energy
I'll get up and carry you.
