her name is sorrow
she paints her room in murky colors
the saints are her disguise
check her pulse she's barely breathing
catch the death wish in her eyes
get back in your lifeboat, father
you've taken half a foot of water
her name is sorrow
she sleeps alone
come and see her string of sailors
like scarabs on a pin
every one he swore he'd save her
trapped out on the ice so thin
call the names of those you're saving
she's not drowning only waving
their tattoos stretched across her skin
her name is sorrow
she sleeps alone
you call the names of those you're saving
she's not drowning only waving
their tattoos stretched across her skin
but you're no life boat
where is your life boat?
her name is sorrow
