She Lays Down

(album: I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It - 2016)

She lays down on a bedroom floor
The chemicals that make her love
Don't seem to be working anymore
She tries her best, but it hurts her chest
And even though her sun has gone
She'd like to love her child nevertheless

My hair is brown, she's scared to touch
And she just wants to feel something
And I don't think that's asking for too much
And when I go to sleep it's when she begins to weep

She's appalled by not loving me at all
She wears a frown and dressing gown
When she lays down

We got a plane, oh, to see my dad again
She prayed that we'd fall from the sky
Simply to alleviate the pain
Over water, hm
Over terrain
The engines all go bust, we turn to dust
And I've no reason to complain, yeah
And in the end, she chose cocaine
But it couldn't fix her brain

She's appalled, oh, she doesn't love me at all
She wears a frown and dressing gown
When she lays down

That was it
