Name: Xena
Duration: P00H02M49S
Description: This song is about having a pet and them dying. I wrote it about my cat Xena who passed after having her in my life for 17 years. I have a tattoo of her paw print on my chest. It's where her paw would land whenever I would pick her up and hold her.

lyrics

Life's afraid
I cry, I shame
I just want to be left alone
But love me, love me
I need you here
I need you to care
Give me shelter
Feed me, feed me
I'm yours

And here we all are now

I'm closer to human
than you think
Misunderstood
I have my moods
I have my moods
I have my moods

And here we all are now

Yes, I have lived a life
No, I'm not quite ready to die
Discomfort pain
has taken my joy away
has taken my joy away
has taken my joy away
