Our Lady of Sorrows

Now last night's blood is dry
Last year's love is on my mind
I go howling round the streets

I was all the rage
Never knowingly upstaged
The city shimmered like a sea

And now my head's a wreck
I wear the past around my neck
And hold it up in front of me

And all that waiting, incessant
In the hospital fluorescence
I mouthed a silent prayer
I barely believed

Our Lady of Sorrows
Are you praying for me?
See I begged, stole and borrowed
But I never shook free
There's something in the darkness
It's staring at me
Will it be here tomorrow
Our Lady of Sorrows?

I turned my friends away
I slept through New Year's Day
I should have called
I should have told you that

That you were honestly different
The brightest thing existent
A great white moon in a bold black sky
I tried and tried

Our Lady of Sorrows
Are you praying for me?
See I begged, stole and borrowed
But I never shook free
There's something in the darkness
It's staring at me
Will it be here tomorrow
Our Lady of Sorrows?

(Darkness, darkness)
(I can see that burning bridge inside of me)
(Who called your name? Who let you in?)
(Who said I need you for a friend?)

Our Lady of Sorrows
Are you praying for me?
See I begged, stole and borrowed
But I never shook free
There's something in the darkness
It's staring at me
Will it be here tomorrow
Our Lady of Sorrows?
