Constant Care

[verse1] The etheric chains pushed me through As I returned to the room I rolled across the floor My human form automatically resumed [verse2] I had to take the win I could see him clear But I needed to calculate How long before he was near [Bridge] I might have to jump To a future time I would counteract the difference Of The time I spent in the rewind [Chorus] This side is up Don't put me down I'm ready for the mission Don't get me turned around I am just a weight You can no longer sustain I will make my departure I will no longer remain [verse3] My mind returned to the boys And that caused my heart to ache There was no way I could leave them Or change their fate [verse4] Jackson was the first one To find me in this room I was still laid flat out Not ready to resume [Bridge] Where did you go? Jackson asked me serene It's been almost a decade We thought you went to the dream [Chorus] This side is up Don't put me down I'm ready for the mission Don't get me turned around I am just a weight You can no longer sustain I will make my departure I will no longer remain [verse5] I returned to my feet My heart beating too fast Please don't repeat that I said My duration away didn't last [verse6] When you left here Jackson said for the second time Your return trip Did not account for the rewind [Bridge] When you went into the rewind Did you pass through the dream? I didn't want to answer that question Because I knew what it would mean [Chorus] This side is up I can do this just fine I'm ready for the mission Don't get me lost in time I Can't bear that weight I can't sustain that pain I will make my departure I will come back again [verse7] If your words are true Why did it wait? I had returned to the dream before And this was not my fate [verse8] You had to be in the fight You had to get that win The fates would wait for after that Before your jump in time begins [Bridge] And the boys? How do they fare? I Never intended to leave them They were part of my care [Chorus] This side is up The boys were okay They currently have four fathers And A mother who decided to stay They are reminded constantly That my care was true They couldn't explain my departure And they saw it through [Outro] My sadness inescapable My knees back on the floor I desire no more heartbreak I couldn't take anymore Jackson knelt down in front of me Your heart will always be true But you couldn't share this time You couldn't see it through If you knew Doug was here Along side you all this time You would have gone to see him And caused another rewind Don't worry about the boys They're tougher than rocks We constantly misplaced them But it no longer burdens our thought They are with Doug now Their hearts have yet to know ache They have an abundance of cheer and Joy Their care he will undertake You will see them next When they come to visit here They don't tell him about us They have constant care
