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
