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 thе darkness —
It’s staring at me
Will it be hеre 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?
