[Verse 1]
Lay down next to me
I’ll share a secret dream before the night dies

Deep under the sheets
As darkness fills the creeks I hear the wall sighs

Lock inside a scream
Tightens like a grip, and drowns the will to rise

Please let me be at peace
And let me be asleep before another sunrise

[Verse 2]
Lay down next to me (Lay down next to me)
I’ll share a secret dream before the night dies (I’ll share a secret dream )

Deep under the sheets (Deep under the sheets)
As darkness fills the creeks I hear the wall sighs (As darkness fills the creeks)

Lock inside a scream (Lock inside a scream)
Tightens like a grip, and drowns the will to rise (Tightens like a grip)

Please let me be at peace (Please let me be at peace)
And let me be asleep before another sunrise (And let me be asleep)

[Verse 3]
By day
I am inventing ghosts
Shape them with my manic pace
Shape them with my toes

[Chorus]
Hot fat brain
Splatter across a cold hard wall
As sticky colours dully dry
I close my eyes and watch it die (Watch it die)

Big (Big)
Harsh (Harsh)
Sounds (Watch it die)
Shatters through a small (Small)
Soft (Soft)
Skull (Watch it die)
As broken pieces spill (Spill)
Through (Through)
Cries (Watch it die)
You walk away and watch (Watch)
Me (Me)
Die (Watch me die)

I find peace in terrible places
Striving along in punishing songs
And sing into the far beyond

[Bridge]
Dadada dadada dadadadada
I went to bed and woke in the middle of the night
Thinking I heard someone cry
Dadada dadada dadadadada
I thought it was me that I myself was crying
Dadada dadada dadadadada
I felt my face and it was dry
Dadada dadada dadadadada
I understand perfectly what happened to me
Dadada dadada dadadadada
This dirty - crying - broken creature
Dadada dadada dadadadada
Was a monster of inconvenience

[Verse 4]
So I disappear into thin air
And I dissolve into the atmosphere
Let the pain-dullness blanket over your days
Thick, thick
We do not speak of it

[Outro]
You float across the boundless space (Help me, help me, help me, help me)
A lead weight sinking quietly upwards (Help me, help me, help me, help me)
An ocean bed is there to receive you (I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning, I’m burning)
The ocean bed absorbs your weight (I’m burning)
It settles, returns to a traceless calmness (I’m sorry… Stop!)
It looks like hope and it feels like hope (Please… I’m sorry!)
Look into the light (Prepare your body, prepare your body, prepare your body, prepare your body)
Look into the light (Demonically happy, demonically happy, demonically happy, demonically happy)
