lyrics

Baby, there's demons in the water
I figured I should tell you
Even though I know your sailing days are over because
Baby, their bitter eyes see through me
They're begging me for kisses in the dark
I know you think they stole your part

The moonlight has never looked so gray
I'm thinking of asking them to stay

Baby, the moment that you left me
I carved your name into a weeping willow
Hid your heart beneath my pillow, I thought
Maybe I'd make a bit of money
Collect a dime for every time we left a fight
With souls and knuckles bloody

I hear the raindrops on the roof
Sometimes the silence sounds like you
The roses I bought have wilted
On the lawn, above your makeshift tomb

Baby, I thought that you might call me
I never had a problem with you voice
You had a problem with my choices but your
Hair and your beard, they've gotten messy
Good thing I kept the scissors on the shelf
I want to help cause you're so pretty with your

Eyes closed and lips a royal blue
Hands stiff and harmless beside you

Baby, tomorrow they won't find me
I'll leave behind the sofa where we fucked
And all the love you said you'd buy me
But baby, I know you won't be lonely
The earth is really cozy late at night
When all the demons come to bite

They have been waiting this whole time
I kept them at bay cause you were mine
Now I'm a stranger,
When they ask I'll smile
and say I'm doing fine
