Smother

and how deep does the pillow sink
when we're dreaming
when we don't have to think
of all the madness
this sadness
this dumbfounded darkness
oh darling hold me
console what is left
bear down on me beauty
...and boozy breathed
and how deep does the night have to sink
to drag us, Brutus, back from the brink
of all the madness
this sadness
this dumbfounded badness
oh darling hold me
console what is left
bear down on me beauty
...and boozy breathed
ooo smothering me
ooo smothering me
ooo smothering me
ooo smothering me
and how deep do i now have to dig
to reach your core, warm and distinct
from all the madness
this sadness
this dumbfounded darkness
oh darling hold me
console what is left
bear down on me beauty
...and boozy breathed
ooo smothering me
ooo smothering me
ooo smothering me
ooo smothering me
