I watched you go out the door

With poise I've not seen before

I saw you shine, you shine

I collapse to the floor

It promised it'd miss me more

And said true love, is mine

I missed you, did you miss me?

Slowly it's consuming me

Deliberate and deep

I can't take this deeper panic

Teach me, teach me not to dream

Dream deeply

I haven't left you for days

My panic keeps me awake

As he unwinds, inside

He told me I should have known

That he'd hated the way I'd grown

To love soft lies, she lied

Do you miss her like I missed you?

Slowly it's consuming me

Deliberate and deep

I can't take this deeper panic

Teach me, teach me not to dream

Dream deeply

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Slowly it's consuming me

Deliberate and deep

I can't take this deeper panic

Teach me, teach me not to dream

Dream deeply

Slowly, I swallowed your fears

Throughout all those years

How could you let them consume me?

Teach me, teach me how you sleep

So sweetly

Slowly, it's consuming me

Deliberate and deep

I can't take this deeper panic

Teach me, teach me how you sleep

So sweetly
