Time on a Mattress

Time on a mattress was the anatomy of you and me
Me, you, and the darkness
Learning to live with the breathing
We could stay here, but we?re too desperate,
Too tarnished to try
So, time on a mattress
Add and subtract hours of our lives
Beside the remains
I?m your effigy, and you are mine
But we lay as if sisters could be lovers tonight

But there?s always time for one last smoke in bed
One last try for normalcy
But the tangible things never meant anything
But another warm body to lay down beside me
Lay down beside me

Time on a mattress, arms crossed above a windowsill
You hold me up, brace myself against the mediocrity
And I break away where you touch me
?Cause when my hands find a body
Well, they never forget

But there?s always time for one last smoke in bed
One last try for normalcy
But the tangible things never meant anything
But another warm body to lay down beside me
Lay down beside me

There?s always time for one last smoke in bed
One last try for normalcy
But the tangible things never meant anything
But another warm body to lay down beside me
Lay down beside me
Lay down beside me, lay down beside me
