lyrics

I was burnin’ hours
With cigarettes and dread
Trying to find the flowers
The winter buried again

You were playing some lovers game
I was dropping out
Of this and that and things said
That I was carrying around

Oh my mary
Oh my darling
All your tender truths
You’d take my name
Without no shame
Spend a lifetime with this fool
My Mary

I was learning the hard way
The price we must pay
The things you’ll do to make a dream come true
Kill dreamers everyday

But you said I was doing fine
Said my voice made you feel
When your friends were gone
Or you didn’t belong, I at least was real

Oh my mary
Oh my darling
All your tender truths
You’d take my name
Without no shame
Spend a lifetime with this fool
My Mary

Some people live for others
Some fend for themselves
Some act out of being lonely
A dead soul lives for wealth

I’m crashing where I started
Unfocused and unknown
I'm struggling still, but content to feel
You at least are real.
