A juxtaposition in fate Find our mutual coordinate Moments of clarity Are so rare I better document this At last the view Is fierce All that matters is Who is open-chested? And who has coagulated? Who can share? And who has shut down the chances? Show me emotional respect Oh respect, oh respect I have emotional needs Oh needs I wish to synchronize our feelings Our feelings What is it that I have That makes me feel your pain? Like milking a stone To get you to say it Who is open? And who has shut up? And if one feels closed, How does one stay open? We have emotional needs Oh needs, oh needs I wish to synchronize our feelings Our feelings Show some emotional respect Oh respect A juxtaposition in fate Find our mutual coordinate
