Clothesline

(Karianne Gabaldon)

A song about a broken heart. Someone who you thought was the love of your life, just up and leaving you one day. The song is pretty subtle.

(Verse 1) 
 
We lie here smoked up like a wilted cigarette 
Your chaos burned me at the stake in my best dress 
Even though exhausted 
You test my patience 
And I’m all wrung dry 
Like a rag, so rusted 
All the lust did 
Was bleach out my eyes 
 
(Chorus) 
 
I didn’t take your life but you devoured mine 
I wish I had the energy to heal in time 
And I am fleshless, you extinguished my lifeline 
Was it a sign? 
Thought I was fine 
But you’ve left me out on a clothesline 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
I’m high and dry while you’re sober and soaking wet  
If I offended your feelings, haven’t seen mine yet 
Crazy to believe in 
All the weekends 
I passed out on your lap 
But you came reaping  
All my feelings 
My psyche takes a nap 
 
(Chorus) 
 
I didn’t take your life but you devoured mine 
I wish I had the energy to heal in time 
And I am fleshless, you extinguished my lifeline 
Was it a sign? 
Thought I was fine 
But you’ve left me out on a clothesline 
 
(Bridge) 
 
And I could cry on your shoulder 
On your shoulder 
But you’d scoff 
Your entity hit me with a boulder 
Hit me with a boulder 
So damn rough
