You're never awake
 But you don't seem to sleep at all
 Those stolen flowers inside your guts
 Will take you away

 Steady the hand that lays the child to bed
 Barbitals and decay
 The crown and the anchor

 You'll curse at the sky
 Three words for which the boys have no names
 How many beasts in the night
 To take you away

 What quivers and shakes?
 What fills your stomach and clogs your veins?
 Whose claws do scratch at your wooden limbs?
 And tear you away

 Steady the hand that lays the child to bed
 Barbitals and decay
 The crown and the anchor

 We will never sleep
 We will never wake
 We will drift away

 We will never sleep
 We will never wake
 We will drift away
