Thought I heard you breathing
In the middle of the night
Your welcome sigh so pleasing in my sight
You moan and whisper a gentle purr
Your hand on mine my only succor
I’ve been awake the whole night through
In a swirl of thoughts the color of blue
What do I do, what do I do
Lemme go, lemme go, lemme go
Let me slip away
Let me sleep through the night to a brand new day
Lemme go, lemme go, lemme go
Let me slip away
Take me out of this world
Out of this world
These mortal thoughts spin around my old head
I weep for all the living and I pray for the dead
So many stories they eat me alive
Stored in my brain like a terabyte drive
I feel like a prisoner trembling under the bed
Or a guy who’s trapped inside his head
Living dread, living dread
Thought I heard you stirring as we head toward the dawn
Your mouth slightly parted too tired to yawn
I try to stir you but you don’t budge
Your last night’s make-up is now a smudge
Your spirit is gone and so is your breath
You look like hell, you look like death
You look like death
