If Tonight We Could Only Sleep

We kicked our shoes off.

Can you feel the ground beneath you shift

All I need, is time and space to breathe.

And either side of this deep breath.

At 4,15, it looked like rain

Your eyes were burning holes in me

Your eyes, this fire in your eyes

Your eyes, are burning holes through me.

She said; If i fall asleep before you, would you leave me be

I can't handle waiting, anticipating

So I pray that I fall deep.

And the lights have burned out a little early.

Oh winter It came quick

But I will burn bright through the early hours

If only we could sleep

See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes

In 3, 4 time, i thread bare strings intwined

You and I, our tied up limbs, skin against skin

Im shaking like a child

You turn, you turn

and the pages rimming

like our outlines

and this glow become one

Im shaking like a child

Oh no I know I can't take it

These sugared pills will always taste like shit

So I'll fire my poison darts and break this spell that's wrapped around me

But in one fell swoop, every dart would miss you and rid you clear of me

But I will burn bright through the early hours

Oh darling leave me be

See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes

In 3, 4 time, i thread bare strings intwined

You and I, our tied up limbs, skin against skin

Im shaking like a child

Since there has been a taste

So sour in the sound

Two marionettes tumbling to the ground

The strings come untied, they break the unwind.

What will we make?

What will we make?
