Song for Sad Girls
Barely here, in the clear
Not just yet but I’ll be right down.
That dusty path I’ve walked and flown, from the window of a plane headed far from home.
Turn off the light and let me slip away,
Not quite night, not quite day
I’ll believe you when I hear you say
That something’s changed, you finally feel it
Don’t give up put your back into it
Make me hurt and don’t say sorry
I’m only thinking of those gates of glory
Do you remember what I told you?
I’ve been running from the demons too. I guess they’ll say that’s why I knew
I can’t hide and I can’t borrow
Bring me from the satin sorrow
Be my Sunday no tomorrow
Lace light pebbles I think you’re sorry
Obsession is the question We have for the culture
Spend your time fighting, Talk fast like lightning
Baby I love it when you make yourself frightening
Just don’t hurt me like you say you want to I know I’m just the image you project onto
Foggy light you make your rounds
But you forgot to tie me down
The doors right there I can see it now
Grab the handle as the room gets loud
The hallways long, can’t find my way
Searching for a glimpse of day
Hotel lobby, hide your sobbing, don’t let
them sense what they aren’t watching.
