March to the Sea

There was an anchor

There was a silver-sweet refrain

You tucked your fingers in between my troubled bones

And what you did next was second-to-none

You really let us down

You tied yourself up

And jumped in the sea

Never to come home

Valium

You left me all alone

Tell me when

I will be whole again

There was a whisper

Once there were heralds and parades

You sang your secrets through the tolling of the tide

The fugitive rooms, the amateur tombs

The silence and cries

The quickening beat

Your march to the sea

Never to return

Sweet morphine

You?ve taken all of me

Let me know

When you will let me go

Heroin

Where did you take my friend?

Tell me why

Those ropes are hanging high

Valium

You left me all alone
