List of Demands


I don't want to be the trees to your wind
I don't want to be the coals to your fire
I want to speak freely my dark desires and whims
with no fear of unwarranted spite

This is my list of demands
Hope you understand I'd never ask you to give
That which I wouldn't give so freely
To everyone who means as much to me...
...as I hope to mean to them

I don't want to be your reason to pretend
I don't want to be the reason for your flight
I want to be the one who's there to help you mend
your emptiness, your longing and your fright

This is my list of demands
Hope you understand I'd never ask you to give
That which I wouldn't give so freely
To everyone who means as much to me...

...as I hope to mean to them
