lyrics

Patrick I’m not really sure where to begin
I don’t really think anything will help me understand what’s within
you tell me that I’m okay
you don’t know me; how can I trust you
I guess I’ll try it your way
what am I so afraid to lose

I’ll listen, read and watch all that you give
and let all these things get under my skin
you tell me how I feel, how we feel, is never a sin
all these things will help me believe that there’s no such thing as a sin

I’ve been placed in this prism of my father’s perspective
it’s a god damn, pure confusion leaving my head full of sound
no shit I’m confused

the so-called laws of nature don’t feel natural to me
they make me feel like something’s wrong with me
that my feelings don’t exist, they’re not meant to be

but then I hear Tyler The Creator
Perfume Genius, REM
more Morrissey and Arcade Fire
with Patrick and all of my friends

I read F Scott Fitzgerald, Call Me By Your Name
Carl Jung and Yuval
they tell me it’s okay
that it’s okay to feel any way

baby hold on
it’s time for a change
your heart’s been on the run
and this world can feel strange

slow down your breathing
rest your hand in mine
there’s no judgement nor pressure
let the old ways die

for love is being connected
liberated from the obsession
that the shame and the fear you’re feeling
it must be there to tell you when something is wrong

if you believe you’re wrong and you don’t deny it
you don’t try to change it, you don’t try to fight it
you’ll rip out all your heart’s excitement
it’s such a waste for you to one day feel nothing at all
don’t do it answer the call
