Oxygen

How do I answer you? How do I respond to you? I offer you exigence I take away consequence Where do we go from here? What do I do with this? I offer you oxygen In hopes that you’ll breathe again I`ll stare at the starry fields There I`ll begin to heal I’ve given up on looking back I’ve given up on loosing track How do I compensate? All that’s been done to you How do I recognize? The things I won’t ask of you I hope I don’t become them Though I’m from the same skin It’s simply an overcoat to cover up
