Marietta

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

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

You sleep with the lights on

What you call your family are gone

I let you in again

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

Of 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

Patiently wait for your storm
