I lay awake stuck by this fickle thorn
I lay with you so they won’t sink in their claws
I lay awake while the beasts and the whores
Are dancing in, dancing in
Dancing in the jaws of a landfill
Systematic in decay
I’m dying to feel what you feel now
You’ve already been such a sweetheart
And I know we all get scared
We all get scared
Too much head, but too little heart oh honey
I want your touch, such a shame that I am numb honey
Not meant to be this way
Lover, lover, lover you’ll never know
You’ll never know
Because, lover, lover breathing down my neck
Incendiary breath
And still my lover is a burden
Tell me something could you smell my fear?
As I lay there
Cringing on your bed
Maybe my seed found purchase in your soil
It’s just a fight, a futile fight to feel connected
I lay awake stuck by this fickle thorn
Instead of tending to it’s prick I lay infected
