My Private Grief

from Dearly Departed by Bannerman

/

lyrics

Blow out your candles darling, it’s your year
All the lovers you have known are here
So grab a glass and drink the hard stuff
Let the spirits rile your soul

On this night our ghosts court trouble in the chill
And my crippled past flies out with every swill
I’ve been out there kissing strangers
And sleeping through my private grief

Then I came home
And all the secrets killed me
Slowly I died alone

I’m not a pillar, I’ve got no stability
Once a killer grabbed my hand and entered me
Please just hold me and stop the bleeding
I’ve been meaning to sit and talk

You are wilder
More than anyone I know
And together we are wilder
When we just let go.
