Alice Peacock - I Am Mary lyrics

rate me

<br>

I am Mary<br />

I was pretty<br />

You may remember me from the ninth grade<br />

The boys would hold me<br />

And my friends told me<br />

The world would know me someday<br />

<br />

I’ve made choices<br />

Heard some voices<br />

Fought the battles inside my head<br />

Life’s a fabric<br />

But when I grabbed it<br />

All I got was a handful of threads<br />

<br />

There’s a stairwell<br />

I know so well<br />

‘Cuz it gets cold out in the street<br />

A crumpled dollar<br />

To start a fire<br />

So that I could warm my feet<br />

<br />

Police stations<br />

Investigations<br />

Of a fire burning bright<br />

They showed me pictures<br />

Of those children<br />

And told me I was there that night<br />

<br />

Conversations<br />

Medications<br />

All my friends have left me now<br />

No one could see them<br />

But now I need them<br />

To help me figure all this out<br />

<br />

Why do they feed me<br />

Give me T.V.<br />

And a blanket for my feet<br />

But something’s workin’<br />

‘Cuz it starts hurtin’<br />

When it all comes back to me

<br><br><br><br>

<br>
