Caramia
Indigo Girls Caramia A blank notebook and a backpocket fade You used to mock me Sometimes I would cry when I was home later You hurt my feelings Why why why My wannabe Harriet the spy Send it down in your notebook And some say your genius Is in your madness Will you get better How you mixed with the darkness Then will you leave us? At such a young age Until in your chemistry Silence to rage Science and violence turned Why are you dreaming this, One shoe off and a bridge to cross over And where is your taxi fare, For three nights straight now I dream I keep both of my shoes Are you left by yourself or left by your lover? But I've forgotten my lines And there's a sea full of faces and a show to go on, And I've misplaced my cues And I'm struck mute at entrance with nothing to draw from There were the secrets The big bang and the bigger joke You seem to know all of them And injustice makes you red with choke You don't know what love is You love like your desperate I thought if there was one thing I could give you One thing I could give you, Maybe it was this With your head on the bed board The sweat of our sadness The anguished repeat The twist of the sheets I don't want what's best for you, Where will I be when you've found it? But I can't pray my way through or around itI pray a lot about these bad feelings inside |
