Marietta
You lost me a long time ago
in your midnight
the flood and the fire of my soul
And I let you in again
I let you in again
You sleep with the lights on
I let you in again
Marietta
the loneliness burns at your door
in your midnight
she seeps through
the cracks in your floor
And I let you in again
I let you in again
You sleep with the lights on
what you call your family are gone
I let you in again
and patiently wait for your storm
The worry of what couldn’t be
the love for the lust of your name
of losing of winning
of striving of leaving
and stealing and
breaking and shame
And I am that man
The worry of what couldn’t be
the love for the lust of your name
of losing of winning
of striving of leaving of stealing
and breaking and shame
of fighting and failing
and lying and telling yourself
that you’re clean of the blame
I let you in again I let you in again
you sleep with the lights on
what you call your family are gone
I let you in again
and patiently wait for your storm
