Lyrics

Doctors play your dosage like a card trick
Scrabbled down the hallways yelling "yatzee"
I brought books on harper in the arctic
Something called "the politics of lonely"
A toothbrush and quick pick with the plus
You tried not to roll your sunken eyes

And said "hey can you help me? I can't reach it"
Pointed to the camera in the ceiling
I climbed up, blocked it so they couldn't see
Turned to find you out of bed and kneeling
Before the nurses came took you away
I stood there on a chair and watched you pray
