Strangling Song

I can hear by the way that her breath stands up
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, lean and 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 and my thoughts are weird
I can't believe this is ending me
If only we could steal 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 satan
I want to bite you
Before I leave
