Seven Lakes

The beds were all made
I slept on the floor
First time in love
She called you a whore

We thought that they might
Try to send you out of state
Nothing could be done then
To keep me away

I hope you catch a break
Oldest daughter
Seven lakes
Treading water

Sealing up the crawl space
Found your little stash
Won’t be like your brother
We’re gonna get you back

Tried too hard to convince us
You were no longer at risk
The medicine can only
Help you if you’re sick

So you’re gonna have to stay
A little longer
Seven lakes
Barely treading water

The birds here sound just
Like an old arcade game
You ask what I'm up to
More of the same

I'm gonna turn the page
Build an altar
Seven lakes
Underwater
