you crawled up inside and now you won't go, you won't leave 
and i thought i saw you last night, woven around me, tangled between my sheets
i felt you crying, heavy flagging, hiding back beneath my sleeve
the windows smashed inside, crashed up, stopped dangling over the eave 
i've started to doubt it, started to believe this isn't all it promised to be
and now something's shielding you, something silent is screaming at me
to stop
