Different Pitches

Eyes high boys

Let’s try hard for it

Don’t let the ground

Pull you back down to earth

I tried, were it up to me

I’ll lead us all home again

To warm blankets

And a place to belong

But we need hands

We need faces

We need voices

To fill these spaces

And make us all human again

To turn our frowns

Back into understanding

We’re all saying the same thing

But no one wants to stop

Long enough to hear

The other person say it

Say it together

“I love you”

It’s not that I don’t think

You heard me

I want you to hear that

I heard you say it back to me

We all just

Gotta back up

A little bit

Some of us

still give a shit

Some of us

Are living it

If we all leave our hands up

We’ll find them

With just a little more time

Then it can carry us home

My ring is missing a diamond

It fell off twice

So I left it behind me

It still works

It still goes in a circle

Like my life, it’s a hurdle

Turning on its head

Full of happy and pain

Uncertain and sane

Setbacks and gains

Smooth edges and angles

Sinners and angels

No one is burning

The warlocks and witches

There’s no way to fix us

It’s just different pitches

You just have to listen
