If I fall asleep tonight
I’ll owe you one
I promise I’ll be
Good forever
Pure of heart
Somewhere in me
There’s the part that is
Running through the field on a frozen wind
Clutching my blood trying to keep it in
Telling myself be strong for the twins
And whatever happens now you don’t give in
Rocks at the cars, gonna cave ‘em in
Nuclear warfare, well here’s the thing
The voice in my head is dying to sing
About all of it - I mean everything
I don’t want a trophy for the pain
I only want it to go away
You keep your ticket to heaven
I want the anti venom
If I don’t wake up
I promise
I’ll be watching everybody
I got my own second world
It came to me with Rosie girl
I cycle through the streets on a windless night
The air’s so still that I think it might
Split to make a portal, open wide
To a new dimension, space and time
Telling myself be weak let it in
And whatever happens now you just give in
Blowing kisses at the cars
Well here’s the thing
I love all of it - I mean everything
