Chapel Hill

The world outside is sick
I dug both our graves until I bled from my fingertips

They throttled his neck
I cradled his head
My love, you can’t protect us
My love, you can’t be helped

I tried to hold them off you
But their hunger beat me out
They’ll come in through the windows
They’ll take my love down

And I will always love you
But my love is not enough to save you

My baby won’t last the night
They won’t stop until he’s been nailed and crucified
The ringing of the chapel bell echoes down the hill
He won’t be in pain much longer but I know I will

And I will always love you
But my love has never been enough to save you
