Wet Socks

(album: Broken Clinic - 2018)

I've got wet socks
I've been running
In a thunderstorm
You struck me down like
You were lightning
You held me while I was crying

So how did you expect me to forget
That you pushed my messy hair
Out of my snotty face and kissed me
Whispered it would be okay
And then you left me
Like I was some sort of burden
On your shoulders
The sky will never show
I watched the ambers while they smoldered
Left over from the fire
Glowing from your
Secret desires to
Somehow be brighter
I hope your chest is lighter
Without me
I hope the lack of goodbyes
Was better for you
Even though I miss the fuck out of you
I'll leave you alone
Cause I know you hate the clouds
Don't let me get you now
Ignore this letter

I've got wet socks
I've been running
In a thunderstorm
You struck me down
Like you were lightning
You held me while I was crying
