lyrics

In Chappaquiddick(where the roads turn into graves) the water drinks me down.
Teddy thanked me for the work on their campaign.
He drove us out of town.

Their wives were gone.
Their eyes were on the girls, the drink, the time.
He strapped me in. He locked the door. Oh no.

We hit the water with a force that made me doubt
the world would ever know
the real story from my eyes, my heart, my mouth.
I tried to not let go.

But he swam away
and I rued the day I’d become so insecure
to let him impose his suit, his clothes, on me.

I found me a pocket of air. I tried to breathe it.

In Chappaquiddick.
Where the roads turn into graves.
