Caramia

Emily Saliers

[Verse 1]
Caramia
Blank notebook and a back pocket fade
You used to mock me
Sometimes I would cry
When I was home later
'Cause you hurt my feelings
Why why why
Said, "Write it down in your notebook
My wannabe Harriet the Spy"
And some say your genius
Is in your madness
Will you get better
And then will you leave us?
How you mixed with the darkness
At such a young age
Until in your chemistry
Silence and violence
Turned silence to rage
Ah

[Chorus]
Why are you dreaming this?
One shoe off
And a bridge to cross over
And where is your taxi fare?
Are you left by yourself
Or left by your lover?
For three nights straight now
I dream I kept both of my shoes
But I've forgotten my lines
And I've misplaced my cues
And there's a sea full of faces
And a show to go on
But I'm struck mute at entrance
With nothing to draw from

[Verse 2]
There were the secrets
The big bang and the bigger joke
You seem to know all of them
And injustice makes you red with choke
Yeah, but you love like you're desperate
You don't know what love is
And I thought if there was one thing I could give you
One thing I could give you (If there was one thing)
Well, maybe it was this
The head on the bed board (Sadness)
The anguished repeat (Sadness)
The sweat of our sadness
And the twist of the sheets
I don't want what's best for you
Where will I be when you've found it?
You know I pray a lot about these bad feelings inside
I can't pray my way through or around it
Hey

[Chorus]
Why are you dreaming this?
One shoe off
And a bridge to cross over
And where is your taxi fare?
Are you left by yourself
Or left by your lover?
For three nights straight now
You know I keep both of my shoes (I've got bad feelings inside)
But I've forgotten my lines (I can't pray through)
I've misplaced my cues (I can't pray my way around it)
And there's a sea full of faces
And a show to go on
I'm struck mute at entrance
With nothing to draw from

[Outro]
Ah, nothing to draw from
