I lowered the wrecking ball into your throat You were sleeping so I closed the curtains I saw your eyelids flicker with a dream And I whispered for you to stay I pulled up a chair and I sat beside you Biting my lip until it begins smoking
And all of this disorder! I was a hungry infant and you played my mother And I clung with white knuckles And you made me promise I wouldn't let you leave But that is a promise I'm not going to keep
