lyrics

Made my bed.
Tied to it.
You know I don’t mind,
never tried to resist.

Twist my knuckles back
behind my head.
Watch the golden hour fade
to a red sun set.

Undisciplined skin
stuck on hold;
wouldn’t it be good
to give someone
complete control?

It’d feel so fine I bet,
a formal arrangement.
Led from under covers
far from indolence.

Hand over hand,
passing the reins;
what I wouldn’t give
to stop worrying

about my path
and all the trials ahead?
Left to my own devices
I barely know where to begin.

I could keep laying here for hours,
reaching for her lips.
Dreaming of a world without ambition,
 leaving skin on skin. 

Nothing to lose,
and never to fear 
people moving past 
and leaving me there
to rot.

It’d be so much easier 
with her around to call me out,
drag me by the collar 
to the here and now. 

Undisciplined skin
stuck on hold,
waiting for her
to finally take
complete control.

Hand over hand, 
steadily up.
Colour returns 
with a quickened pulse,
up and over and out of this rut.
