Lyrics Dear Marlene - Owls in the Attic

Dear Marlene

The weight of every whisper
It seems too much to bear
This war inside my head’s taking it’s toll
But to resist this constant battle
Is to remind myself that I am not alone
This world is now better on my own
Say what you want, you’ll never break me
And we will settle the score and I’ll tell you
Exactly what you never wanted to hear
Take what you want, you’ll never take me
And I’ll send you back to where you came from
I will not live within this fear
The devil that you know
Is better than the one you don’t
I am familiar with every man that I’ve crossed
Little bugs pulling strings through my skull
I cannot stand the sounds of my thoughts
I am afraid of what I know not
I carry the weight of every whisper
That I have heard
Fractured pieces
Snatched by hands and carried upwards
I am so useless
When the choice is not mine to make
All these houses look the same
From the back of this nameless mistake
Manifest your fears
Feed the knife
Say what you want, you’ll never break me
And we will settle the score and I’ll tell you
Exactly what you never wanted to hear
Take what you want, you’ll never take me
And I’ll send you back to where you came from
I will not live within this fear
How can I pull you out
When I am falling in myself
Imploding personalities
Rack up the casualties
Nowhere to turn
Blind in the night
Resist the urge
Give up the fight
You are the scum between my toes
Dear Marlene, I hate your guts
Signed, Marlene
