Halogen 2 from The Caretaker by Half Waif

Check the footprints in the yard
For any sign of life.
Straight shot into the woods:
It’s mine and mine and mine,
With the train running beside.

Winter came again,
Throttled me like halogen.
You left to see the world,
I told you I’d be fine.
It’s time to go inside.

Don’t misunderstand:
I do what I must.

Check my phone to see the time,
Or any sign of life.
Why am I so afraid?
These are my brightest days.
It’s time to go inside.

I asked for a moment.
I cannot hold it.
It’s so inappropriate.
You were right to leave me here.
Why am I so afraid?

Don’t misunderstand:
I do what I must.
Don’t misunderstand:
I do what I must.
Holding out a hand,
Folding into my chest:
I’m doing my best.
Don’t misunderstand:
I do what I must.
