by now – VÉRITÉ

I was overflowing
More than you were knowing
And the winds were breaking
Fast along the lake we found

Darling, you ought to know by now
Darling, you ought to know by now

All the signs were growing
Faster than you’d noticed
My mind was caving
Hoping it could take me out

Darling, you ought to know by now
Darling, you ought to know by now

All my limbs were floating
Long before the warning
The tidal waving
Too slow to escape the sound

Darling, you ought to know by now
Darling, you ought to know by now

Forcing, ricocheting
A few pills, watch me levitate out of here
So close, you should see it on my face
By now, by now
By now, by now

I was overgrowing
Hoping you would notice
My mind was breaking
Hoping it could take me out

And darling, you ought to know by now
Darling, you ought to know, so
And darling, you ought to know by now
Darling, you ought to know by now
By now, by now
By now
