Kiss me again, love
Then please close the door and leave
I really need sleep
I really need sleep.
My eyes are propped open with
matchsticks, neatly placed.
matchsticks, neatly placed
kindling brought in from the cold
please build me a fire?
Please build me a fire,
with fragrant woods and snapping
knots, that make us jump.
Knots, that make us jump;
Knitting, that opens a gap
Between death and life
Between death and life,
will we find a quiet time,
where the noise will cease?
Where the noise will cease,
Under the tarpaulin of
The blanketing doom.
The Blanketing doom
No room here for thoughts of such
Now is all there is
Now is all there is,
so we should dance and twirl til
the spinning drops us.
The spinning drops us
Headfirst into the wild waves
Swim up to gasp air
Swim up to gasp air,
Clinging onto the wreckage,
Watching the ship sink.
watching the ship sink
I think of you and wonder
All's well that ends well.
All's well that ends well,
But here at the beginning,
how do we proceed?
How do we proceed?
the instructions aren't clear
Damn this contraption!
damn this contraption,
it makes me stop and think when
all i want is sleep.
all I want is sleep
roll over and let me be
don't set the alarm
Don't set the alarm,
Its hands, ravenous. Instead
Never go to sleep.
Never go to sleep
Without pulling back the sheets
Spiders lurk about
Spiders lurk about
in shadows, waiting to pounce
fangs at the ready
Fangs at the ready:
You are a whitewashed ogre.
I am homebaked bread.
