lyrics

You’re there when I wake up
You’re there when I lay down to sleep
I need, need, need your chattering teeth

I’ve come and I’ve staked out
And set up a plan in your skin
I live, live, live inside your limbs

Keep me here
Keep me safe
Safe from the world

Your light grows warm
And your skin
which is smoking
Expectedly painfully dry

These shards are going
Out into the open
And it’s chilly so I’ll
Close your eyes

In months you’ll forget
The day I came here to you
Your feet, feet, feet
They did not move

The ice and snow
And leaves piled by your side
I pray, pray, pray
That you won’t die

Keep me here
Keep me safe
Safe from the world
