lyrics
Blood moon over the heads of the meek
We’ll inherit the earth but we’ll be fast asleep
We’re a dead eyed stare at a hole in the wall
We’re a rock climber on a cliff too tall
I’m sick kneeling to an empty priest
Closing my eyes while they baptize me
Hiding behind my bedroom sheets
Digging graves in all my bad dreams
Dead asleep on your birthdays eve
Trying to win but you friends all cheat
What do you think about staying with me
Are we what you thought we could be?
You’re sick of crawling for the family throne
Humming nursery rhymes while you're all alone
Keeping distance from the ones who love you most
Trying to stitch the things you used to sew
Come alive when you think of me
Fall asleep as I’m leaving
