Damage Me Deeply - Michael Malarkey

Halfway between New York and the Wasteland

A statue of glass

Burnin' with sand

His hourglass physique

Saw days turn into weeks

Powerless to raise his head or his hands

Yet, still, they kiss his feet

And count their blessings

Halfway between empty and drowning

The cylinder shattered

And out tumbled a man

The rain came in sheets

And the days turned into weeks

And those weeks to years, he said, «Hold me»

It’s so lonely in the city

The lights, they make me sick

Sing songs of forever

Then songs of departure

The pennants of joy in abandoned harbors

Waitin' for something

We damage me deeply, my dear, we do

And we damage you, we damage you too

As we damage me

We damage me deeply

Sing songs of forever

Then songs of departure

The pennants of joy in abandoned harbors

Waiting for something

We damage me deeply, my dear, we do

And we damage you, we damage you too

As we damage me

We damage me deeply

We damage me deeply, my dear, we do

And we damage you, we damage you too

As we damage me

We damage me deeply

And the days turn into weeks

And those weeks to years, he said, «Hold me»

It’s so lonely in the city

The lights, they make me sick

The lights, they make me sick

The lights, they make me sick

The lights, they make me sick
