Marrow - THAO, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down

Would you believe

She wants to keep

The rest of me

The death of me

I’ve got grief in my marrow

Will you marry me still

I’m one of two on the straight and the narrow

And I’m coming for you

I was an island

Was I treading was I fleeing

I was silent

I could barely hear me breathing

You dawned upon me

To the least goes the most

I was the drought

And you were the coast

I promise I will be good to us

I promise I will be good to us

(What are you worth if you don’t make a sound)

I’ve been searching all of my life

My life

When it’s whittled to the middle

Is it alright

That I managed just a little

Of the good fight

Had to learn what truth does

The friction of the fiction was burning me up

I was meant to defend us

And I promise I will

I was an island

Was I treading

Was I fleeing

I was silent

I could barely hear me breathing

I know I’ve lived

As a quiet apology

I’m sorry to you

And I’m sorry to me

I was meant to defend us

And I promise I will

I was an island

Was I treading

Was I fleeing

I was silent

I could barely hear me breathing

I know I’ve lived

As a quiet apology

I’m sorry to you

And I’m sorry to me

I’ve got grief in my marrow

Will you marry me still

I’m one of two on the straight and the narrow

And I’m coming for you

I was meant to defend us

And I promise I will

Be good to us

I’ve got grief in my marrow

Will you marry me still

I’ve been searching all of my life
