lyrics

Melancholy Holly

growing up in private behind our prison walls
pushing on regardless of the rises and the falls
all those nights I spent
all those days I spent
all those nights I spent
 with melancholy Holly
only the moon was free

pinching all our pennies in cages of the past
grasping at every straw up until the last
all those nights I spent
all those days I spent
all those nights I spent
with melancholy Holly
only the moon was free

not her, not me
not her, not me
not her, not me
not melancholy Holly

what we could not witness, what we could not see
what we could not answer, who we could not be
all those nights I spent
all those days I spent
all those nights I spent
with melancholy Holly
only the moon was free

not her, not me
not her, not me
not her, not me
not melancholy Holly
only the moon was free
