lyrics

You were close to me, I could feel you in the hall
So close to me I could swear I heard you call
Sometimes nothing feels like something after all
Holding you was just like holding water
You slipped right through my fingers into the dirt
‘til there was nothing of you left that I could hurt

I’ve been cradling this empty like a doll
I’ve been breathing out your name but I can’t talk
I lean against my cage until it falls
I had a dream of Marie Antoinette
She whispered but I don’t know what she said
And then the guillotine, it freed her from her head

Sometimes there are things they don’t forget
The truth is mean, but it’s hard to argue it
Sometimes you deserve just what you get
When your hands, they shake, it’s harder to hold on
When the dam, it breaks, the river’s way too strong
Let the current take me where it wants

I look up and see the clouds and they look scared
Running from the sounds that fill the air
The wolves may howl but I don’t think they care
The water moves like it’s apocalypticing
I’m part of it, the sand becomes the sea
guess something has to give eventually
One more breath and I’d be at your side
But I’m not sure you’re up for housing strangers
Will you know my face from all the years you couldn’t stay
I’m afraid you’d turn away like you did
