The Umbilical Cord
Between you and me
Creates hope, hoping that change would be brought between us.
Our lives would be kept sacred,
We'd envelop one another's essence

The Bungee Cord
Keeps me scraping my nails along this path
Somehow this path always leads me to you,
No matter how hard I try to escape
Gravity is against me,
Newton despises me.
I'm only human

The Hemp Cord
Intertwines our insides, creating these knots
Knots that wouldn't be imaginable if they were set free.
These knots pulled tighter, when you drew me toward your
Your scruffy face, I've always come to embrace
