[acceptance]

Stand still for a moment.
I only want to measure your hight
To take your blood pressure
To test your reflexes with my little hammer.
Stand still for a moment.
Why won't you be still in my microscope
Be still. How can I photograph what I can't see?
And now you're gone. The tests unfinished.

Come back for a moment.
Don't you even care? I don't think you're trying.
This is important to me.
How can I know you when I can't see you?
Come back for a moment.
I know I don't put others through this.
Stop complaining, you're different:
Special, more real - yet unreal to me.

Hold on for a moment.
You are worse than a young child.
Squirming away from needles.
But... you are different from them.
Hold on for a moment.
You seem so full of life to be here
I wonder how I'm supposed to heal you.
I wonder what flaw I'm supposed to heal.

Let me sit for a moment.
And think, and think, I think a lot.
Of course I'll figure you out, I just need time.
But you are so large, how much time?
Let me sit for a moment.
And think, and think, I need this thought.
I need to figure things out on my own.
I can't be told things, I have to test them.

Wait up for a moment.
Your silhouette in the doorway
It reminded me of someone I knew
Before all these confounded ideas.
Wait up for a moment.
Somehow, I want to meet them again.
Do... do you know them?
His name was... God.
