I saw it all, happened on the golden sheets
In the morning, you were asleep
Hazy in your golden days
verse 2
There was a child
Moving on her mother's breast
Breathing only dust in the light
But you know it's awfully hard to dream
verse 3
I was a knight in my mother's arms
Black as mourning wearing the lights
Glowing so my sister could see
verse 4
I felt it all
But you know it's awfully hard to talk about it
Try to recall
The girls when I was seventeen A dream
Know this can't be right
But it's awfully hard to fight
When it's going quickly and it's like
We're half asleep
There's no rosy almost days behind
These painted lady eyes
Let it go and all that they imply
Get over me
Verse 5
I was afraid
When I left my home
And my mother sadness, my friend
She used to play for me and sing
Know this can't be right
But it's awfully hard to fight
When it's going quickly and it's like
We're half asleep
There's no rosy almost days behind
These painted lady eyes
Let it go and all that they imply
Get over me
Outro
It's hard to talk about
When inside you're freaking out
When it's going quickly and you doubt
You're anything
But it's what we have instead of God
What we have instead of God
What we have instead of God
We're anything
But it's what we have instead of God
What we have instead of God
What we have instead of God
We're anything
What we have instead of God
Like the moment after love
When we know we finally kill the buzz
So we can sleep
And we can finally let it lie
While the days keep passing by
Carried on the little deaths we die
Then we can sleep
