Dylan Seeger - Metropolitan Hospital Center Lyrics

Locked doors and big drawers
Hold you from now on

Docked Fords and raincoats
In the parking lot
You see the rain come down
As I button your gown
But all you're wearing's a frown

Wait for me
Before you leave tonight
And when the time is right
I'll allow you to be free, as you please
But when I step back outside
I'll be looking for your eyes

Amidst an evening walk on Harlem's waterway
Beside a face that softly sways
And here I stand, agaze
Thinking it's you who has returned to stay
But a face is a routine
And you're an irregular mien

Departure, she surrounds you again
And like a mouse trap
She's bound to your crown, when
When my guard is down

How she wraps around your eyes
Wraps around the guise of your lies
And you think it's too soon
I watch you sink into the room
Perfume clouds above your tomb
As she slips you back into her womb
There I can't betray her
I'm not your savior

Every night
I hear you laughing
Tell me, love
What's so funny about
Drifting away like dust?

You say you'll be home soon
You swear you'll be home soon
Admit it, you're not coming back!

I'm alone
Now that you're gone
It's all I've ever wanted
But now that you're gone
I miss you
And I love you
Now that you're gone
Now that you're gone
