Strangling Song

I can hear by the way that her breath stands out
Softly against the sound of the sheets
She can use her weight to pull me down
Down to where the octopi sleep
And I’m drifting off as my ears get number
Forget the way I was coming from
How can I rest on this raging sea
If I know that she is right there with me

But I never sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep
My baby’s good at strangling me
But I never sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep
My baby’s good at strangling me

And my arms are tentacles
I’m leaning tall
I can feel her face
I can taste her all
Cut them off cause I know
I have an extensive reach
But I still have nothing to eat

This is a marathon
And I’m running scared
Cause my head is drowning in a
I can’t believe this is ending me
If I only [?] a little time

But I never sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep
My baby’s good at strangling me
But I never sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep
My baby’s good at strangling me

Inside, my
I want to bite you
Before I leave
