Lay my head, then I feel a war
I've been diving over saints
Lay my head, then I feel a war
I’ve been trying so hard to say
Come on don't worry about me it's so, so, so
Come on don’t worry about me it's so, so, so
Come on don't worry about me it's so, so, so disarming
Come on don't worry about me it's so, so, so
Come on don't worry about me it's so, so, so
Come on don’t worry about me it’s so, so, so disarming
And I can not get over what I have become
It ain't easy, it isn’t simple sleeping at all
And I can not get over what i have become
Can't you see dear, that i'm always there to talk about your heart
To talk about your heart, my love
For you, my love
It's fine, I don’t mind to live as I am
To live underwater is all i have known
It's fine, i don't mind to live as I am
To speak as a child and to laugh as a stranger, to strangers instead
And I can not get over what I have become
It ain't easy, it isn't simple sleeping at all
And I can not get over what I have become
Can't you see dear, that I'm always there to talk about your heart
To talk about your heart, my love
For you, my love
What a way to feel ignored
What a way to feel ignored
What a way to feel ignored
What a way

white summer

I was left in a comfortable crowd
Telling me what I was all about
There are no words for me
And I’ll be damned if I’m ever
That easily defined
In this white summer of mine
I ain’t worn out by this weary song
I still manage to put my make-up on
Each morning each day
Do not be gentle with my guts oh it’s such
A damned devine to be torn all the time
It ain’t right, you see
It’s never the same without you, love
It’s never the same when you’re not near
It’s never the same without you, love

Came tumblin’ down the stairs
Said your name once or twice
before I would soothe you in my silence
Would soothe you down the lair
Said your name once or twice
Until I’d burn my tongue
I didn’t miss you all night long
Now I only hear you in my song
And I’m watching her get undressed
I’m the one naked to the eye
It’s creeping up my back
from behind her door
There’s a ringing in my presence
There’s a ringing in each sigh
It’s creeping up my back
I press my tongue upon the rifle of her gun
Now I only hear you in my song
Now I only hear you in my song
Now I only hear you in my song

i'm still asleep

My friends told me
to bring some red wine and a cape
I was bound to be left in a disarmful state
My lover told me
to eat my silver lining from a plate
I felt quite alarmed; wasn’t I supposed to feel great?
My friends warned me
I was gonna be out until past eight
I felt quite allright as I told my parents not to wait
I wasn’t built to break, I wasn’t built to break, I wasn’t built to break for this.
I wasn’t built to break, I wasn’t built to break, I wasn’t built to break for this.
And I am so caught up in this house of mine
As I have never learned to disown
And I am still asleep, slipping un-, slipping under this house
And I am still asleep, slipping on, slipping un-, slipping un-, slipping un, slipping under
I guess I should have told them
that I’m scared to die
Sitting around in our chairs is no way to live by
I guess I should have told them
that it takes me a while to decide
Should I speak of these violets, falling beside me all the time?
And I am so caught up in this house of mine
As I have never learned to disown
And I am still asleep, slipping un-, slipping under this house
And I am still asleep, slipping on, slipping un-, slipping un-, slipping un, I’m slipping under
