jailer - kevin atwater lyrics

[verse 1]
my boy, covered in red
we were flushed in fluorescence, the backseat a bed
with a knock on the window, a flash in our eyes
and an officer happy to ruin my night
i let out a laugh like a shriek or a cry
and you hit me reflexively quick
at the time, i was stunned into silence
we got just a warning
i’m hoping we make it a joke in the morning

[chorus]
you drive to my house
i want us to talk but the quiet’s too loud
i try to get naked again in the back
i want you to see, and to want what i have
when you look at me, is that all that i am?

[verse 2]
my boy, covered in red
from the blood dancing harshly and quick to his head
through a body that’s working three times as hard
to pretend what he’s screaming is straight from the heart
saying “do you think i want that right now?
on the road by your house? are you kidding me now?”
and you’re laughing at me and i don’t find it funny
but maybe i’ll get it, alone in the morning
[chorus]
the bed in my house
i try to get off but can’t picture you now
the back of my eyelids are lonely and black
now all that i see is all that i have
when you think of me, is that all that i am?

[outro]
a boy covered in blue, putting walls up around him
a jailer confused, casting off all new strangers
alone at the table, saying “no one can hurt me if n0body’s able”
