lyrics

I felt it happen again
Or rather didnt
Collapsed to a pile of skin
Felt my weight wrapping round into a mass of empty found things
Hate but feel loved
Say its enough to have been here
Can you give my certain proclamation
A bill of health
Sell drugs king

4 Leaf Tips Silver
Over my head again
It all just went over
I can feel each finger
Shiver at touch of my skin
Can you get closer and closer
Til we hold hands

(Sleepwalking is so hard
I tried to but I couldn’t figure out where to start)

I felt my back caving in
While in the kitchen
Wife calling up my friends
My daughter holding both my hands
And the bed where they pronounced me’s
Weight soon fell
The state tagged me hell
And I sleep

4 sharp dressed killers
Came over and lopped off my head
It all went over and over
I can feel you linger
Your breath kissed the moonlight then fled
Now you draw closer and closer
Til we are both dead
