Between Two Pillars: Thin

Thin

Slow me down
Before I miss this bliss in being
Savor not, a glutton does
My body feels like a waterbed
Slush from toe to head
Too much too much
Is always somehow not enough…

And you’re not one to waste
Deeds of passion on impassioned haste
Put your arms around my waist
And tell me where you want mine placed

Hang around
You’re not like the other girls
Slight of hand will never court you
Yet you’re such a romantic
In all of your aesthetics
The letters you send
Tell of love quite old fashion…

When I see you reading in the sun
The talons of winter come undone
But the distance I have come
Has not changed where I came from

(Chorus)
It’s not an… easy ride
To there and back again
And ain’t it the truth, I get hungry babe
But at least you keep me thin

Hold me down
I’m beating myself up again
Reaching for reasons to keep on
So that I can keep something
Not sure where to begin
Cutting dead weight off
All of these irresolvable thoughts

And you’re not one to take
Too much time for thoughts of fate
Yet a path for me you make
To find myself another shape

(Repeat Chorus)
