Honey and Milk

Keep me caged with the animals

Tasting my sorrow and teaching me lessons

You found me asleep with the roses all over my body

Like a confession

Cigarette burns on my collar

I don't think I like this life that we're living

Surviving on honey and milk

You don't give me much more

To make sure that I'm breathing

I think God's staying at the Diane Motel

And he's smoking out on the porch

And you're crying in the parking lot again

Just praying that I will come home

But I've been lost for so many days on the interstate

I don't know morning from dark

And the kindness of strangers

And the strangeness of everyone I know

Has just fxcked with my heart

You laugh like an angel

With comatose love in your eyes

Like a sleeping city

You put me to rest in your gravestone chest

Tell me I've never looked so pretty

The funeral party had drinks

And nobody asked why you smashed up the table

Your promises fold and your voice is so loud

But I'm living in the light of your halo

I think God's passed out in the bathtub again

Because nobody answered the door

And the love that you made me fight for

Was never love at all

The red light shines through the window

And I've got a black eye

For every bed that you've made

The honey and milk on my fingertips

Was never enough to make you stay
