lyrics

All surrounded he's alone
Even when the sun shines in his home
Yes he's taken many wives
But he's still a baby in the darkness of the night

You're not safe in your bed
Even when the sheets are flying
Whatever she asked of you
Hurt more than solitude
Which you know never hurt no one who wasn't already guilty

He once knew her in the mud
Before lambs clamored up to him with their sacrificial blood
Now she's ignored by his side
Because nonchalance has not a seeing eye

You're not safe in your bed
Even when the sheets are flying
Whatever she asked of you
Hurt more than solitude
Which you know never hurt no one who wasn't already guilty

She said you have immersed yourselves in lovers everywhere
So why'd you have to go and take another
I could not recall if he or I replied
But the syllables were spat in spurts of spite:

Oh goodness, let conscience ride me raw until I die
Stop my heartbeat, collapse my body, if I ever told a lie

And I don't want to sleep alone
But I don't want you in my home
It's just something that I feel in my bones
Don't ask me how I know
And I don't want to hold your hand
And I don't want to understand
And I can't bear to see your face
And you will never
You will never
You will never

You're not safe in your bed
Even when the sheets are flying
Whatever she asked of you
Hurt more than solitude
Which you know never hurt no one who wasn't already guilty
