Lyrics: Liam Frost. If Tonight We Could Only Sleep.

We kicked our shoes off.
Can you feel the ground beneath you shift
All I need, is time and space to breathe.
And either side of this deep breath.
At 4,15, it looked like rain
Your eyes were burning holes in me
Your eyes, this fire in your eyes
Your eyes, are burning holes through me.

She said; If i fall asleep before you, would you leave me be
I can't handle waiting, anticipating
So I pray that I fall deep.
And the lights have burned out a little early.
Oh winter It came quick
But I will burn bright through the early hours
If only we could sleep

See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes
In 3, 4 time, i thread bare strings intwined
You and I, our tied up limbs, skin against skin
Im shaking like a child
You turn, you turn
and the pages rimming
like our outlines
and this glow become one
Im shaking like a child

Oh no I know I can't take it
These sugared pills will always taste like shit
So I'll fire my poison darts and break this spell that's wrapped around me
But in one fell swoop, every dart would miss you and rid you clear of me
But I will burn bright through the early hours
Oh darling leave me be

See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes
In 3, 4 time, i thread bare strings intwined
You and I, our tied up limbs, skin against skin
Im shaking like a child

Since there has been a taste
So sour in the sound
Two marionettes tumbling to the ground
The strings come untied, they break the unwind.
What will we make?
What will we make?
