stone cold maria Lyrics

Sweet maria, let me tell you about my thoughts on last night

& Why you caught me gazing into the void

I lay here stone cold, numb

On a makeshift sick bed, in a straight jacket

Naked in my skin, my most suitable attire

& You straddling my chest

Questioning my wasted years without you

A mirror reflecting me from the ceiling

Counting my eyelids shutter for every day missed

From the tightening grip of your mouth, having on my lips

Never to entirely kill me

Or to let me live in peace

It's not dying that I fear

It's seeing the expression on your face

When I take my last breath

As I lay here stone cold

Waiting for you, waiting for you, my love to know that

To be assertive is to be more merciful

Like the day you drove your beautiful self to me

Testing my fortitude

That's now succumbing at your grip

I had faith in you

I let you in to build a podium for your ego

So I could occupy its size to fulfill your needs

I've built castles for wintertime and

Tents for the summer coastlines

While I was looking for shade by an empty lake

When you looked the other way

I've carved a pool in my mind to accommodate

Dripping saliva from your mouth to top it off

Everything smiled the day your mercy touched

Every scar you burned me with

Charred a delicately tattooed me

Short of a cure

Gazing at your neck & backside

From the mirror's reflection

Wondering how crazy & warm a healing

It would be from the inside

You're still straddling my chest

Cautious about delivering a final blow

Even though you know that

I'm laying here harmless

Paralyzed & stone cold
