how is it that you are safe with me
even when i am not safe with myself
perhaps it is a tribal chant of two
where you are the only tolerable stud
the one who is never the enemy in any war
i would kill to defend you
but would not hesitate twice
to do the same with me
i would kill your family and them and me
just to craft you a safe parachute
where we can fly away
and no one would ever find us
but what if it is you that you ask me to kill
sane minds think far from homicide and
i have never denied a request by you
will you please cut off the strings
of the flying balloon
so that we both tumble
downward forever
i cannot live without you
