My Tears Are Steady

[Verse 1] I fold my hands in the dark Count the cracks in the wall Your name in my throat Like a stone I can’t call My cup stays full of rain My coat stays damp with pain I left a clean shirt hanging Now it smells like the train [Pre-Chorus] I keep it neat But the hurt won’t stay It runs right through When you walk away [Chorus] My tears are steady, Baby My tears are steady, Baby I don’t need a storm I got this ache in me My tears are steady, Baby My tears are steady, Baby If you touch my face You’ll feel the sea [Verse 2] Old clock on the shelf Keeps on telling the truth Every tick says your leaving Every groove says my youth I sip from a cold glass Try to swallow the bruise But the night keeps a record Of the things I can’t lose [Pre-Chorus] I keep it small I keep it straight But my chest still bends Under all this weight [Chorus] My tears are steady, Baby My tears are steady, Baby I don’t need a storm I got this ache in me My tears are steady, Baby My tears are steady, Baby If you touch my face You’ll feel the sea [Bridge] [Scratch break] I got years in my bones And your ghost in my breath One foot in the living One foot close to death [Chorus] My tears are steady, Baby My tears are steady, Baby I don’t need a storm I got this ache in me My tears are steady, Baby My tears are steady, Baby If you touch my face You’ll feel the sea
