The cover, a stutter
My lover sedated for fifteen days now
Their mother is weeping
I don't know why they've just been sleeping
I comfort the most that I can
But my body's weak and my mind is slipping
I get it, my friend
My partner for life is my love to the end

And what should I do
While I wait outside of the hospital
Praying God will come through?

Only you could ever contain all my conscious
This red string confines me
Oh, you are the flesh of my body, the red in my blood
Never-ending wires or the vials of the medicine
The monitor that rings all the time
Only you could ever contain me

The hunger
My mother is worried sick 'cause I cannot eat
And I know it, don't show it
Maybe I'll die, fall into your bedside
I'm trying as hard as I can
But your wrist and mine are becoming the same size
I get it, my friend
My lover, my baby, I'll find you again

'Cause what can I do
While I wait outside of the hospital
Praying God will come through?

Only you could ever contain all my conscious
This red string confines me
Oh, you are the flesh of my body, the red in my blood
Never-ending wires or the vials of the medicine
The monitor that rings all the time
Only you could ever contain me
