Bed
Keaton Henson
BED As recorded by Keaton Henson (From the 2020 Album MONUMENT) [Intro] [Verse 1] My gift to you will be the waking nights Don’t wanna talk about it The ceiling moves before my aching eyes I’ll watch the phone sit still [Chorus 1] Sick of waiting for bad news Am I waiting to lose you? Waiting for bad news Still [Verse 2] I’ll grind my teeth down to the nerves again As long as you are breathing I’ve made my bed now sit down You get used to feeling mad [Chorus 2] Move away I am over you I’ve opened my eyes And the best of my mind fell on through I am always the captive When will I play the good cop? Lord knows I need the practice Sick of swallowing full stops Now the system is failing I’m so tired of waiting For bad news [Interlude] [Outro] I’ll lie awake For you again father I’ll lose my teeth What use is sleep anyway? I’ll brace myself To be in hell I’ll fail the test Love you to death
