Benthos

(альбом: By A Thread - 2014)

The heat's begun to wane
Still I'm pretty much the same
I'm doing my best to snap out
But I'm stuck in this dream
Rattling the windows
Why don't I stay inside?
The weight of my eyes breaks my legs

Just between you and I
I want to build something tonight
While there's still bright spark
Burning behind my eyes

Drag my knuckles and crave
The sweet embrace of linen and sheet
Sleep you're precious to me
Yet we hardly ever meet
Why don't you come and sing?
This ill-fated evening
The dawn and anxiety

Surely you didn't expect much more
Than a lopsided grin?
Knocking down your front door
Where the second hand stops
Stumble and fall
And I'm all wrong
But by Christ you look nice
In the brightening morning light

Just between you and I
I want to build something tonight
While there's still bright spark
Burning behind my eyes
Just between you and I
I want to build something tonight
While there's still bright spark
Burning behind my eyes
