"Honey And Milk" lyrics

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 fucked 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
