Lake Song

I don't care if you lie to yourself

But please don't lie to me

You were a fragment, a freak accident

Could've happened with anyone

But you were in reach

And I clung to you

Like the grime on the bar stools

You told me I was beautiful

With my mouth as red as an open wound

And sure, I've sunk a ship or two

And many stronger men than you

Went down with the captain

Down with the crew

And I wake up in empty rooms

Oh, the lake is cold and deep

And it strips the dust of the day and the sleep

And I always sleep in far too late

It's almost dark by the time I'm awake

And I dreamt again of dreadful things

I don't know where you end

And I begin again

I'd like to tell you that I'd never cry

For a man who leaves before the sheets dry

But there's no design

I hold things too tight

I clung to you

Like the grime on the bar stools

You told me I was beautiful

With my mouth as red as an open wound

And sure, I've sunk a ship or two

And many stronger men than you

Went down with the captain

Down with the crew

And I wake up in empty

I wake up in empty

I wake up in empty rooms
