Sanctified

(album: Never Had To Leave - 2022)

Baby, I'm a sucker for you
How dare you go and sympathize
With anybody else in the room
I'm drinking on the way to your house
I'm scared enough to talk to my dad
These thoughts are thoughts that I've never had
They're wide awake with you in your bed

Harbored in the ways you won't forget
Lies your little kind of sadness
Never really has to show its head
Just feed it till it's full and let it be alone

Baby, I'm in trouble again
I never really cut the ties
With anything that made me like them
They're gonna drop the law on my ass
I let go of the wheel of my car
To see if I would make it that far
I never feel awake anymore

Harbored in the ways you won't forget
Lies your little kind of sadness
Never really has to show its head
Just feed it till it's full and let it be alone

I came here to find a place in public
Thought I'd dignify the truth that no one gets
I am sanctified and fucking losing it
I came here to cry, a babbling lunatic
I got loosely based on places I had been
To be lost and found and lost and found again
I can't seem to find the truth in anything
So I'll realign till I feel born again

Harbored in the ways you won't forget
Lies your little kind of sadness
Never really has to show its head
Just feed it till it's full and let it be alone
