The worst part about this is being so alone
The train is cold but it feels more like a home
Everyone in this town is getting old
The lonely are starting to feel it in their bones

and I know that someday I'll be there too
and we'll say

Step back dear Mother, and please don't say my name
Because it's starting to kill me
Step back dear Mother, and please don't say my name

I am the ocean, a deeply divided soul
You are the anchor that sinks me like a stone
The feelings are lost in the pull of an undertow
I'll paint them black, all the colors I let go

And I know that someday I'll be dead too
and we'll say

Step back dear Mother, and please don't say my name
Because it's starting to kill me
Oh, step back dear Mother, and please don't say my name
Because I've already left this town
and it's already washed away
and you've already lost me

I won't waste your breath
I just had to get out of this mess:
who I've been since the middle of summer
There burns a flame in me
between the Devil and the deep blue sea
and I am not ready to join him
