Woodbridge, CT

Stumbled to the east coast

Hanging by a thread

All my clothes in goodwill bags

Still drunk at sixam

My words are all volcanic ash

And my bones are made of fiberglass

Breathing into everything you said

Like every little note was left undead

And I miss the taste of sugar on my tongue

My darling when she's waking up

So I'll bury my prescriptions

Reconnect with my addictions

Start the process over when it's done

Darling, oh darling can't you see

Our whole lives strung out on tapestry

Like folktales, like an angel from above

But right now, nobody knows

I propose

We put down the brush

Do you remember when we left?

21 and full of shit

Those pacific coastline summers

Just kept on beckoning

She took my heart and ran with it

No one's fault just how it is

And winter came

And east coast rain

Never left me broke like this

Will you love me like you did

Back in Woodbridge, Connecticut

Now I see the pain behind the bruises on your skin

And I miss the taste of sugar on my tongue

My darling when she's waking up

So I'll bury my prescriptions, reconnect with my addictions

Start the process over when it's done

I wanna be on your good side so bad

Lay down my life, let go of my desires

A life-long fast

A repentance that never ends

A fire that scorches me

Until you return

Restores what we had

All of these things I endure for your favor

Will you love me like you did

Will you love me like you did

Will you love me like you did

I will burn forever if the two of us can be

Will love me like you did

(Do you see what I endure)

Love me like you did

(Because it feels like all my days

I have felt my lungs crying out to you)

So I stumbled to the east coast

And all the colors had gone away

And my heart was just a broken bone

The blood had all been drained

The songs I couldn't play

The burning on the plane

I prayed it was a joke

And you were standing at the gate

Put down the brush

Jump in the painting for once

Blowing away all the dust

Wash it all away

I'll remember this scene

The one where I lose everything

A pile of bishops and knights

I'll do anything for my queen
