Marrow

[Verse 1]
Would you believe
She wants to keep
The rest of me?
The death of me

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
I promise I
Will be good to us
I promise I
(What are you worth if you don't make a sound?)
Will be good to us
I've been searching all of my life
I've been searching all of my life

[Verse 2]
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
If the friction of the fiction was burning me up

[Chorus]
I was an island
(I was meant to defend us and I promise I will)
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I was an island
(I was meant to defend us and I promise I will)
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

[Outro]
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've been searching all of my life)
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'm sorry to me)
I was meant to defend us, and I promise I will
Be good to us (The straight and the narrow)
(I'm sorry to you and I'm sorry to me)
I’ve got grief in my marrow
Will you marry me still?
I've been searching all of my life
I've been searching all of my life
