Midwest Songtext
von Magdaleine de Lioncourt
Midwest Songtext
The other night i had a bad dream
You stood in front of the door with a bloody nose and fucked up teeth
And you had a rope wrapped around your neck, so gently
But it still terrifies me, the thought of losing my baby
So i′ll go out and build myself a boat
Using the trees that grow along the tonsils of your throat
I'll sail along the Mississippi trail, trying to find what turned you so cold
Trying to find what made you so frail
Because i don′t care what happens to me
I can't lose you to another bad thing
On this midwest farm, surrounded by nothing
I know you still cry at night when you think of daddy
And i know one day, those christians will come
With pitchforks, torches, and their forked tongues
They'll scream out our names and name out our sin
Just promise me, you won′t give in
Wake up in the night with the tv static on
Just to find you trying to die out on the front lawn
And i tried to pull the lead punctured in the back of your throat
But those bad things never escaped us
I just couldn′t save your soul
They all say that our love is cruel
But they don't know the shit that our parents put us through
Cause no one makes me feel this safe
No one alive makes me feel as good as you do
And as much as you try to hide it from me
I know you cut up your wrists
Our parents didn′t love us
So we loved the sin we couldn't resist
Christmas came, and all the wives were so happy
But i cried, cause i knew that the devil couldn′t set you free
I blame myself for all the shit I put us through
I punish myself for the way that i lost you
Because i don't care what happens to me
I know I can′t lose you to another bad thing
On this midwest farm, surrounded by nothing
I know you still cry at night when you think of daddy
And you wouldn't have gone back to God so soon
If I had known to hide your needles and dirty spoons
But Mary knows Im just a mess like you
Im just a mess like you
And goddamn, I'd be lying if I didn′t say
That you′re all I think about night and day
But Mary knows I'm just a mess like you
I′m just a mess like you
You stood in front of the door with a bloody nose and fucked up teeth
And you had a rope wrapped around your neck, so gently
But it still terrifies me, the thought of losing my baby
So i′ll go out and build myself a boat
Using the trees that grow along the tonsils of your throat
I'll sail along the Mississippi trail, trying to find what turned you so cold
Trying to find what made you so frail
Because i don′t care what happens to me
I can't lose you to another bad thing
On this midwest farm, surrounded by nothing
I know you still cry at night when you think of daddy
And i know one day, those christians will come
With pitchforks, torches, and their forked tongues
They'll scream out our names and name out our sin
Just promise me, you won′t give in
Wake up in the night with the tv static on
Just to find you trying to die out on the front lawn
And i tried to pull the lead punctured in the back of your throat
But those bad things never escaped us
I just couldn′t save your soul
They all say that our love is cruel
But they don't know the shit that our parents put us through
Cause no one makes me feel this safe
No one alive makes me feel as good as you do

And you wouldn't have gone back to God so soon

That you′re all I think about night and day
But Mary knows I'm just a mess like you
I′m just a mess like you
