Magdalene (That's Not Your Name)

The gift certificate that you gave me expired today

I was too tired to make it to the Meijer in White Lake anyway

It's raining like Halloween

Like every Halloween since I turned 17

Do you know what I mean?

Magdalene

Yeah, I'm well aware that's not your name

People love to share the details

But rarely share the blame

I'm sorry for what I became and what you've seen

Campari twice-spilt on the same computer screen

Now I'm nothing but a waste of your caffeine

I waste it all

Did you not hear

The fog on the mirror

The scream in the hall

'Cause everyone knew

And everyone saw

I was glad I was wrong

They offered me some medicine and I guess I acquiesced

But lately, this played-out scene

Feels vaguely like a broken Coke machine

And I'm stuck in-between

That place and
