when oblivion fucks a whisper (go back to sleep)

By whisperer

Faint incendiary whispers burn in the beats of a kettle drum

i am the background of a dream to you

burning like the song you fuck in time to

go back to sleep

dance and sweat to the heart on a deathbed

go back to sleep

close your eyes, let it stop

i'll only be a thought

another fallen angel on the wings of a tear drop

go back to sleep

i won't be the one to protect you from those imaginary fears you were never running from

i'm not someone who can guide youu

i'm just another story standing right behind you

go back to sleep

churning in the space of a heart beat
i never wanna wake to this
i'll never be going back to sleep

i'm here

don't judge yourself by the company you keep

i'm here

for awhile until you forget this

my dear

fair well, i think i'll always regret this

go back to sleep
