Back to Sleep

you should have seen us before
i wish i wouldn't react to sinking low again
so i will slowly encase
the world as it gets deep
so it won't seem so far
just like it was before
and the more i try to hold on
the more it disappears
the more i try to repress
the things that made me this way
they'll surface in time

as if unlocking a cage
your feathers ruffle
as if there's somewhere to be
i wish i wouldn't react
to the sound of four words
leaving rest again
if you could do it again would you

the more it disappears for you
the more i can't let go
and the more these feelings stretch
the more they enclose
around my ankles again
