Chariot

The worst part about this is being so alone

The train is cold but it feels more like a home

Everyone in this town is getting old

The lonely are starting to feel it in their bones

and I know that someday I'll be there too

and we'll say

Step back dear Mother, and please don't say my name

Because it's starting to kill me

Step back dear Mother, and please don't say my name

I am the ocean, a deeply divided soul

You are the anchor that sinks me like a stone

The feelings are lost in the pull of an undertow

I'll paint them black, all the colors I let go

And I know that someday I'll be dead too

and we'll say

Step back dear Mother, and please don't say my name

Because it's starting to kill me

Oh, step back dear Mother, and please don't say my name

Because I've already left this town

and it's already washed away

and you've already lost me

I won't waste your breath

I just had to get out of this mess:

who I've been since the middle of summer

There burns a flame in me

between the Devil and the deep blue sea

and I am not ready to join him
