lyrics

There are rough patches of skin
In our words
We dig our talons
Where we know they hurt
You rolled your eyes
To the next verse
You were more interested
In the contents of your purse
Than my words

I'll hold you tight
While I push you away
I'll say goodbye
And yell "please stay"

Well I stayed up all night
Wondering if you dream
While you had nightmares
Clinch your nails
To the seems of the mattress
We sleep once a week
Don't think I knew you at your best
While we were at our peak

Truly you deserve better sleep
My body wraps around you
Like sandpaper is to sheets

But you said you loved it
I bet you don't even sleep

But you said you loved it
I twitch in my sleep
It wakes you up and
Makes you love me

We have nothing but love for the Echo Base guys, they worked themselves to death to finish their debut full length and we think it really shows. All proceeds go towards a vinyl pressing of the album! Paperweight Records
