Kick Me In The Head​/​River

from Something Else To Fear by Strange Talking Animals

/

about

two songs, blended. fantasy and dystopian landscapes.

lyrics

it's dark outside and i can't sleep
and i can't find my keys
it's dark and i've got nothing i want to keep
save me

my feet are cut and i can't sleep
and i don't know how to believe
my eyes burn and there's nothing to see

it's dark inside and i can't sleep
there's no such thing as relief
my hands are numb, my fingers bleed
save me from myself

i can hear your voice try to soften me
i can feel your breath when you sleep
you take up the bed, kick me in the head
it's the only time i'm at peace
save me from myself

it's dark outside, i can feel the stars
i imagine i am the moon
you become the sea shining back at me
it's the only time i'm at peace
save me, change me from myself

blackened metal
follow the river in to the trees
watch the stars fall
set fire to your dreams

empty sockets
follow the river in to the street
hear the sky fall
whispers like a piercing scream

shadowed buildings
scattered focus in the light
powdered lungfull
bleeding under the night

broken ribbons
tendrils welcome the cold
silver beacons
lead us in to the fold

take away my eyes
fill them with water
winter steals away my lies
