about

Love is patient. Love is kind. Doesn't say anywhere that it has to be sober.

lyrics

In darkest hours
She stalks the hall
Mascara tears
Run down her face
I'm trapped
Forever trapped, she cries
My dress won't fall
My beau won't wake

A nightmare stitched from all the shattered visions in her head
A sharp and dashing body laid unmoving in the bed

My beau won't wake
My dress won't fall
I'm trapped,
Forever trapped, she calls
And down her face
Mascara tears
She stalks the halls
Her darkest years

A half-drunk glass of water's ring upon the windowsill
A man with ring on finger under covers, drunker still

Her footsteps echo on the floor, her face a broken look
She calls out for a stranger's hand to swift undo the hook

My beau won't wake
My dress won't fall
I'm trapped,
Forever trapped, she calls
And down her face
Mascara tears
She stalks the halls
Her darkest years

Before the dear beloved, dear
I take thee as you are
To have and hold a drink in hand
Til dead drunk do we part
