Rats
[Verse 1]
The rats above my head
Get closer to my bed
With every night, I see a crack appearing
The spiders on the wall
Spin webs that keep it all
But the dreams they catch were the one's that I was saving
[Verse 2]
I really could be dying
I hope that I’m not dying
But the open gas pipe keeps putting me to sleep
And I know I should be happy
Just to get some sleep
But, I can't dream
I can't dream
Not for her, not even for her
I can’t dream
I can't dream
[Whistling melody]
[Verse 3]
I got my trousers wet
When the tide came in and I really got upset
They tried to calm me down
But not a single soul could help me shake my frown
I got this little dog, It twists itself around my leg
And every time I look into it's eyes
It looks as if it wants to die
And God I really love sad eyes, they're twice as kind
[Verse 4]
But I need things to be this way
I need that journey every day
I see no signs there in your eyes
Just fun and fear and things I like
I keep returning to the scene
Where all my sisters set me free
There is some darkness here to stay
But now I've learnt that that's okay
[Whistling Melody]
[Verse 1 repeat]
The rats above my head
Get closer to my bed
With every night, I see a crack appearing
The spiders on the wall
Spin webs that keep it all
But the dreams they catch were the one's that I was saving
