lyrics

Elspeth's sitting at the table thinking that she won't be able
To get up. Now everybody's sitting down.
And her father started praying, as her mother finished saying that
If you act up, you'll end up in the ground
She started sweeping all her problems underneath the rug she bought
She never thought she would be wrong to shrug them off

Leaving her old man waiting
For a word or two to save him
Feels that everyone that he loves
Has forgot that he does
It's getting harder to believe
That you feel like dying after thirty years of lying through a cold and broken heart

Emily's hands are distracted Couldn't think of what exactly
To write down. She's throwing it away
All those thoughts of lovers stealing, holding onto bitter feelings
That you're not as smart for getting in the way
She told me she'd give up the plan, and yes
She'd rather be howling up at the moon and waking you up from

All your effortless dreaming like a dog scratching at the door
Because you're leaving (Don't give it up)
Please don't give it up
Mostly given up but holding on to Julia

And Julia, your love is flowing from each of your veins
Much like a river, it's the same. It's filling up that dark, dark sea
And the current's direction is exceeding imperfections
You can't seem to undo what you want to be.

And Jane-Alice an exception, by the blood and resurrection
There's no distance that could keep you feeling weak

And there's a boat that keeps on sinking
The sun's burnt out but you keep blinking
That the words that you leak are the words you can't speak
It's getting harder to believe
That you feel like dying after thirty years of lying through a cold and broken heart

Are you alone?
Is it hard for you to be strong when you're at home?

Because I'm rowing and pushing along in this boat that I built
Patching it together with the pain and my guilt
And I blink an eye and a fraction of time will go by
And I find myself inside another day that I fill with the reasons I use to escape

Are you alone?
