You sleep better when someone’s watching You scrape burnt toast across my lips Smoke curls up like it’s tryin’ to hide th’ doubt Trapped insect buzz, won’t quit, won’t quit I live by your toys, love — that’s all I’ve got Just pass the sugar, that’s enough for me Swear we’re safe from the drain, from the rain From the ache that doesn’t need a name Ignore the sun, love — don’t open your eyes Not yet, love… stay down I’m the guard dog, the wall, the gate Sharp eye, sharp teeth — your young neck Fall asleep, find your dreams Fall asleep in my dreams You’re safe here, I swear it I won’t wake you — no, not me Not this week You rolled in, feathers twisted, soaked through Pretending you’re human’s a thankless job, innit? Did you mind those wings when the weather turned cruel Or let some bastard set the hour on you? Never mind — they’re folded now, tucked under the sheet In this constant hush your wreckage feels sweet Sink’s full of last night’s cups Cables checked like they own the place Stay down, love… stay down I’m the guard dog, the wall, the gate Sharp eye, sharp teeth — your young neck Fall asleep, find your dreams Fall asleep in my dreams You’re safe here, I swear it I won’t wake you — no, not me Not this week You sleep better when someone’s watching You’re safe here… I swear it… Not this week… not this week… Fall asleep… in my dreams… Fall asleep… in my dreams… Sink’s full of last night’s cups… Cables checked like they own the place…
