Lyrics for Marrow by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | Revelling | | Track: | Marrow | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 61 | | | | Lyrics: | the answer came
like a shot in the back
while you were running from your lesson
/>
which might explain
why years later all you could remember
was the terror of the
question
plus, you weren't listening
you were stockpiling canned goods
making a
bomb shelter of our basement
and i can't believe you let the moral go by
while you
were soaking in the product placement
where was your conscience?
where was
your consciousness?
and where did you put all those letters
that you wrote to
yourself
but could not address?
i'm a good kisser
and you're a fast
learner
and that kinda thing could float us
for a pretty long time
then one day
you'd realize
you've memorized my phone number
and you'll call it and find it's a
disconnected line
cuz i got tossed out the window of love's el camino
and i shattered
into a shower of sparks on the curb
you were smoking me
weren't you?
between
your yellow fingers
you just inhaled and exhaled without saying a word
where
was your conscience?
where was your consciousness?
and where did you put all those
letters
that you wrote to yourself
but could not address?
there's a
smorgasbord of unspoken poisons
a whole childhood of potions
that are all bottled
up
and so one by one i am dusting off labels
i am uncorking bottles and filling up
cups
so go ahead and have a taste of your own medicine
and i'll have a taste of
mine
but first let's toast to the lists
that we hold in our fists
of the things
that we promise to do
differently next time
cuz the answer came like a shot in
the back
while you were running from your lesson
which might explain
why years
later all you could remember
was the terror of the question
plus i'm not listening to
you anymore
my head is too sore and my heart's perforated
and i'm mired in the marrow
of my (well... ain't that) funny bone
learning how to be alone and devastated
where
was my conscience?
where was my consciousness?
and what do i do with all these
letters
that i wrote to myself
but cannot address | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
