She sleeps like me, down on the floor

Cant sleep in the bed, a habit hard to force

She wakes suddenly, after four

Her conscious body is hard to ignore

Even though, even so, hardly talks to those she knows


My house burned down with all of my shoes

Cant live without the ones that tap but I hardly use

This to say I spare you with excuse


Well I was just like you to all the girls I never loved

Way too scared or busy to break up

Were you half the piece of shit I was?

Testing the waters praying I got hit by a bus

Talking to them all like they were one of us


I cant do this anymore 

I say time and time again

But I cant stand to see you be less than more than friends

Honesty and openness all lead to dead ends

You can tell me about the past that you still live in

But refrain from giving notice to the feelings swept behind the curtains


I have trust issues when I see patterns start  to break

Feeding anesthetics every time my heart starts to ache

My family dies I dont want to be alone

Mistake the sorrow in my tone

For anger and resentment for invading my tall throne

Well, youre just like me, how I am or used to be

Shamelessly taking all the turns to stop and mock me


Now she sleeps for the night

Ive kissed her farewell and told her all the dreams I want her to have

Bedbugs dont bite, sleep until you miss your dad

That is to say, I hope your dreams are bad
