Hail Mary

Sam MacPherson

I only put my hands together for good music
I'm lying in a church by the lake
Across the street, the lifeguard's a Sunday drunk
Hung over, anxious heroes today
I only see you here for the funerals
Was sweating through this suit back in May
We're sorry for your loss you say every time
You don't get I'm grieving you the same
After what you swore you would be to me
Why does seeing you take a tragedy?

A phone call, Hail Mary, to see if you care
My dad got sick, why weren't you there?
Does it feel spiritual letting me down like you do?
Hello, Hail Mary, I'm giving up on you

My brother Louis grew up by the charter school
He rocked a Jesus piece on his chest
Got jealous of the ghosts he believed in
Now you're my version of that
Except your soul is not even haunting me
Why does seeing you take a tragedy?

A phone call, Hail Mary, to see if you care
My dad got sick, why weren't you there?
Does it feel spiritual letting me down like you do?
Hello, Hail Mary, I'm giving up on

Suffering in silence, while I'm keeping the faith
On a phone call, Hail Mary
Suffering in silence, your name pressed to my face
On a phone call, Hail Mary
Suffering in silence, while I'm keeping the faith
On a phone call, Hail Mary
Suffering in silence, your name pressed to my face
On a phone call, Hail Mary

Does it feel spiritual letting me down like you do?
Hello, Hail Mary, I'm giving up on—
Suffering in silence, while I'm keeping the faith
On a phone call, Hail Mary
Suffering in silence, your name pressed to my face
On a phone call, Hail Mary
