benthos

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
