Marauders

(album: Temple - 2020)

My darling, your patience, rain it on me
I know daughters of marauders are just so hard to please
I got that poison, carve it on out
Barely served me then
Only hurts me now

But you look like I could stay
Let all my intentions fall away
Kill all my defenses where they lay
Say all that's left to say
What to say
What to say
To me

Be sweet
Be soft with me
Be kind to me
Be kind to me

Oh, how the haunted get so mean
The faith they shake
And their failure to dream
I got a hold on the handle
Won't let it loose
A fearful heart automatically moves

But you look like I could stay
Let all my intentions fall away
Kill all my defenses where they lay
Say all that's left to say
What to say
What to say

I am here now
I am here now
I am here now
I took it all in stride
I who would mistreat time
I never wondered why

I got that poison, carve it on out
Barely served me then
And it only hurts me now
My darling, your patience, rain it on me
I know daughters of marauders are just so hard to please
Daughters of marauders are just so hard to please
Daughters of marauders are just so hard to please
