We need to eat
She grows silent, the light fallsDoes it scare you?Does it chew you to the bone?I’m sorry, I didn’t knowThen I won’t put the lights outThough you hate to undress before my eyesFor your pale skin is in need of summerlight
I say: You need to eatShe says: I’ll feed on your breathWhat if I leave?She says: Without you I’ll be deadI need some sleepbut I can’t let her aloneand if I leaveI’d be afraid of coming home
She grows silent, the light fallsCause it scares youand I can’t help but smileAnd your best friend has to be the morninglight
I say: You need to eatShe says: I’ll feed on your breathWhat if I leave?She says: Without you I’ll be deadI need some sleepbut I can’t let her aloneand if I leaveI’d be afraid of coming homeI need some sleepbut I can’t let her alone
I’m losing youI’m aware of the words I’m usingLosing you…If you really have to knowI’m sorry but I have to let you go
I say: You need to eatShe says: I’ll feed on your breathWhat if I leave?She says: Without you I’ll be deadI need some sleepbut I can’t let her aloneand if I leaveI’d be afraid of coming home
