Slip out of your shoes
Come inside, close the door behind you
Sit with me while I sleep
follow me down into dissension
through this hollow,
lonely deep
I pick my poisons well, don't I
know the difference between the darkness
and a long night's journey into hell
and the strength you try to keep
doesn't follow you down into dissension
through this hollow,
lonely deep
Hey, it tastes so good
it tastes so sweet just like I knew it would
It tastes better than I remember it
Oh my God
it's a live ember burning down my house and my bed
It's a match lit in the darkness of this coal mine, but the canary is dead
and oh, in the light it looks just the same
I am ten years older now but nothing's really changed
And the things you always crave
they follow you down into dissension
through this hollow,
And though you'd beg to differ you're still a slave to follow
And though you'd rather kill this aching need
Still you hold your breath, you dive right in
into this lonely deep.
Slip out of your shoes
You want to come inside, close and lock the door behind you
Sit with me while I sleep
Could you just sit with me while I sleep? |
