lyrics

I know exactly what you want
I know how to put you to sleep
It’s been the same thing for centuries

Story of a mad woman’s waking days
Unrest and a heavy ribcage
Thought you might sympathise

Despite what I want, my elastic’s poised to snap
Even with fog in my mind, I know what you want
A ring doesn’t change that they’re all the same
Love beyond measure but like a machine

Wolves are hiding in the trees, in thigh deep snow
Running in slow motion trying to get some peace
You need a lullaby to put the pack to sleep
And when I’m too unwell to sing it
You’ll play dead with one eye open

I stare into the dark, it’s 3 o’clock
My heart beats too fast and my brain won’t stop
Still I know just what you need
You’re not-so-subtleties
And the guilt of knowing exactly what you want

Despite what I want
