Helpless, she lies across the stairs Haunting your days, consuming your prayers There will be healing, but don't force this girl to stand As she's counting the ceilings, with pale voice and trembling hands You told me life was long, but now that it's gone, You find yourself on top, as the leader of a flock Called to be a rock for those below Whispered notes from the piano in the corner of the room Hold your throat, is that healing that you're hearing in her tune? Wanting change, but loving her just as she lies Is the burden of the man who's built his life on love You told me life was long, but now that it's gone, You find yourself on top, as the leader of a flock Called to be a rock for those below I'll be locked up and stored In a lavender ward 'Cause my mind is just like hers, just as broken, just as crippled, just as burned And then I find myself on top, as the leader of a flock Called to be a rock for those below
