[Verse 1]

It’s too late

To be careful now

You aped me

As I ran to you

I couldn't hear you

When you looked at me

And now you stand behind me

When I speak to you

You were childish

All day long

And at night you grow

Before my eyes

[Verse 2]

You are older now

You dress yourself for bed

You drown me in your sheets

You choke my wicked mind

You ferment me alive

To preserve me from

The specious child

That wants to do us harm

I could never allow

The trust that you breathe

To bе betrayed

While you sleep

[Verse 3]

I lеan away from damp air

Into the folds you provide

Your breath spills onto your pillow

It drugs me

What I’m thinking now

How could I not mean it?

So I will say it aloud

While it’s still true

I won’t do it again

How could I?

The way that you sleep

How could I?
