lyrics
Looks like the moon the night you left
When you tucked me into bed
‘Cause we drank whiskey on the kitchen floor
And we laughed about the girl you left me for
I wanna ask how you’ve been sleeping
But instead I just stare at the ceiling
I wanna tell you how I lost my voice
This prayer won’t leave my throat
I love you but I know that it won’t save me
Mercy is letting you go— so damn saintly.
You got a sorrow I can’t mend
Is that just my taste in men?
They call it hunger, call it thirst
Must be blameless ‘cause I put you first
I wanna ask how you’ve been sleeping
But instead I just stare at the ceiling
I wanna tell you how I lost my voice
This prayer won’t leave my throat
I love you but I know that it won’t save me
Mercy is letting you go— so damn saintly.
Oh, what good, what good is being so damn saintly?
When you tucked me into bed
‘Cause we drank whiskey on the kitchen floor
And we laughed about the girl you left me for
I wanna ask how you’ve been sleeping
But instead I just stare at the ceiling
I wanna tell you how I lost my voice
This prayer won’t leave my throat
I love you but I know that it won’t save me
Mercy is letting you go— so damn saintly.
You got a sorrow I can’t mend
Is that just my taste in men?
They call it hunger, call it thirst
Must be blameless ‘cause I put you first
I wanna ask how you’ve been sleeping
But instead I just stare at the ceiling
I wanna tell you how I lost my voice
This prayer won’t leave my throat
I love you but I know that it won’t save me
Mercy is letting you go— so damn saintly.
Oh, what good, what good is being so damn saintly?

about
Small Million Portland, Oregon
Flowing from the collaboration of longtime creative partners Ryan Linder & Malachi Graham, the Portland-based indie pop band Small Million welds deeply affecting sonic production to smart lyrics about intuition and inhibition, losing control and ending up in unexpected places, bodies hurt and bodies joyful. Intimate and epic, delicate and fierce. ... more
