Strangling Song - Thomas Azier

I can hear by the way that her breath stands out

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

I’m leaning 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

I want to bite you

Before I leave
