the night does not belong to god

There’s been a stain in the carpet since the day our father took those pills And nothing’s felt real since then We haven't seen the ocean since two days after we were born And now you say you wish they’d thrown you in

The red and white stripes above our bed have started tearing And I’m just waiting for the stars to fall through They let this town fall down around us like we always thought it would But we never left, even though we knew

You and I are not in love, we are just the same Two children in a motel making love in our own grave And we are not embarrassed, but we’re filled with worms and dirt We were better off dying with her at birth

And I don’t care what girls you hurt as long as you come home to me ’Cause I can’t be alone for long You would’ve died if I didn’t hide you when the army came to take you You can try, but you can’t tell me I’m wrong

You’re the only one I’ll let touch me ’Cause no one makes me feel safe like you do All these dreams of violation starting to come true Deep down, I don't wanna say no to you, no to you
