Faint incendiary whispers burn in the beats of a kettle drum
i am the background of a dream to you
burning like the song you fuck in time to
go back to sleep
dance and sweat to the heart on a deathbed
go back to sleep
close your eyes, let it stop
i'll only be a thought
another fallen angel on the wings of a tear drop
go back to sleep
i won't be the one to protect you from those imaginary fears you were never running from
i'm not someone who can guide youu
i'm just another story standing right behind you
go back to sleep
churning in the space of a heart beat
i never wanna wake to this
i'll never be going back to sleep
i'm here
don't judge yourself by the company you keep
i'm here
for awhile until you forget this
my dear
fair well, i think i'll always regret this
go back to sleep
