lyrics

I will fall asleep tonight
against the will of the world
because peace is not a gift
nor a feeling, a feeling I deserve
still it comes to me each night
despite a war inside our heads
and a sea between our bodies
cold and old inside this bed

and you were the mother to my love
but I grew up a runaway
when I was drowning in the storm
you reached out and pulled me ashore

and I will wake tomorrow
my arms dead by my side
and if I wrap them around you
I’ll wrap the truth in a lie
cause we both know the evil
the elephant in our tomb
so let’s just be lions
for the cub in the other room

and I was the killer of your heart
but you thought it best to stay
when I left you drowning in the rain
though I’ll try, I’ll never know your pain
