Cover art for If Tonight We Could Only Sleep lyrics by Liam Frost

We kicked our shoes off Can you feel the ground beneath you shift? All I need, is time and space to breathe At either side of this deep rift At 4,15, it looked like rain Your eyes were burning holes through me Your eyes, this fire in your eyes Your eyes, are burning holes through me

She said; If I fall asleep before you, would you leave me be I can't handle waiting, anticipating So I pray that I fall deep. And the lights have burned out a little early. Oh winter It came quick I will burn bright through the early hours If only we could sleep

See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes In 3, 4 time, our thread bare strings entwined You and I, are tied up limbs, skin against skin I'm shaking like a child You turn, and you turn and the pages remain like our outlines in this gloom, become one I'm shaking like a child

Oh no, I know I can't take it These sugared pills will always taste like shit I'll fire poison darts and break this spell that's wrapped around me But in one fell swoop, every dart would miss you and rid you clear of me I will burn bright through the early hours Oh darling leave me be

See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes In 3, 4 time, our thread bare strings entwined You and I, are tied up limbs, skin against skin I'm shaking like a child

Since then there's been a taste So sour in the sound Of two marionettes, tumbling to the ground The strings come untied, they break they unwind. What will we make? What will we make? Of these scattered remains.

See how we spin, we dance, like marionettes In 3/4 time, our thread bare strings entwined You and I, are tied up limbs, skin against skin Skin against skin
