race around / calling out
on the ground / when my mind cowers
how could they let him out
they should've told us somehow
how could they let him out
what if the effort don't work now
i have this reoccurring dream
he'd stare at me unwavering
i have this reoccurring dream
dream
the only words i'd hear from him
"i'd love it if you stayed now
i'd love to lead you back down"
how could they let him out?
my body's gotten used to this
i find that hard to take
i know i'm coping selfishly
but i think it keeps me safe
i feel cold fingers reach into my mind
what
what if i tell someone
what if i tell someone
i wake before he comes for my head
can't sleep if i know he ain't dead
i been worried bout if he lies about it now
will the state still come for his head
can't sleep if i know he ain't dead
so i tell my babe
my body's gotten used to this
i find that hard to take
i know i'm acting selfishly
but i think you'd keep me safe
i love you more than anything
don't know why that's hard to say now
but it hurts when they come for my head
can't sleep if i know he ain't dead
i been worried bout if he lies about it now
will the state still come for his head
will the state still come for his head
my body's gotten used to this
i find that hard to take
i know i'm acting selfishly
but i think you'd keep me safe
i love you more than anything
don't know why that's hard to say now
