Long night

The clock blinks red in the dark,
cheap wine warm in the glass
Shoes kicked off by the door,
I'm pacing the floor
Eyeliner smeared across my face,
dress still stuck to my skin
Every thought of you hits like a hammer to the head
Long night, no mercy,
I can't calm down, I can't cool down
Your name on my body burns like a brand that won't wash off
Long night, no mercy,
every slow second pulls me back
If you don't love me in the daylight,
I'll make you crawl to me after dark
Neighbors knocking on the wall,
we laugh in the smoke
My girls start howling,
this low stormy stream of hope
Bare feet stomping on the table,
clapping palms cut through the haze
You're a bad habit I'm cultivating
and I like the taste
Long night, no mercy,
I can't calm down, I can't cool down
Your name on my body burns like a brand that won't wash off
Long night, no mercy,
every slow second pulls me back
If you don't love me in the daylight,
I'll make you crawl to me after dark
Twirl this ring on your finger,
tell me it's not real
But your eyes remain,
they linger on the bend of my heel
I'm a lone old humming
in the bones of this house
You can pray for your halo,
but I'm already in your soul
Long night, no mercy,
I can't calm down, I can't cool down
Your name on my body burns like a brand that won't wash off
Long night, no mercy,
every slow second pulls me back
If you don't love me in the daylight,
I'll make you crawl to me after dark
Thanks for watching!
