sweet dreams

You can't ask of me to trust you

I smell your fear

My candid heart tells me it's untrue

As does your sweat

Your darting eyes and lips

The aftertaste from your poison kiss

You can't ask of me to love you

You beg for scraps (scraps, scraps, scraps, scraps, scraps, scraps)

If I'm a mess

I'll clean up every inch

So that there's nothing left

For you to make do with

Know that I've seen you fend for yourself

I'm the easy way out

It's a trick

Hang your head low, lick your lips

You've learned your helplessness

I've been your training ground

An ever-rushing spring

For you to wade around

Or a wreck, you wring out

When you left in a drought

Of things to think about

Your tongue hanging out

Yeah, I'm angry now

Yeah, you got me hot

When it's raining down

That's when you'll be gone

What'll you do now

That I'm a mirage

I won't let you lie

Like a sleeping dog

You can't ask of me to trust you

I smell your fear

My candid heart tells me it's untrue

As does your sweat

Your darting eyes and lips

The aftertaste from your poison kiss

You can't ask of me to love you

You beg for scraps
