The Death

I'm going to sleep The day is long, the night never ends I'm going to sleep There are birds and insects calling to me Hidden in the ribs of the dark I am going to find a home Some place I can rest And wrap a cold rag around the meat inside my chest If you find me, carry me home Come and find me my love If it's not too late, you'll know where to look I leave no tracks, no scent, no trace If it's not too late, you'll know where to look Please forget the things I said and I wrote Forget them and throw them away Forget the things that I wrecked and I broke Forget me and throw me away The dark to me is a comfort It offers blindness to me There are so many horrible things in the light They hurt for me to see If you find me, carry me home Don't wake me or whisper my name Lock me in the warmth of your arms And walk me away from my shame
