strange connections

And if you freeze to death in the middle of spring When depression seems to be well past its prime If one more step feels like it may kill you Don't twitch your smallest muscles stay inside It'll be alright Don't venture through the bitterness dear You'll be fine Strange connections found between an atom and a soul Scattered through the weakest men you conquer and hold And I will not be made to stay like this forever I sent you crumbling leaves in the mail I hope they make it You sent me broken clocks and a black ink sketch Don't fake it A lonely affair could seem a lot to someone who's afraid Of a cross-state trek to the north on an invisible wage The landscapes here seem pretty enough But not enough to distract you Sleeping, waking, lying naked You're protected I'm exposed on stage Steeped in pleasure with no measure In your novel I am just a page
