Sleep well Emily
The noise that you make carries over to the morning
And my shaky legs carry you to bed
Sleep off the emptiness that cowers with dread
Hold your ticket ‘bove your shoulders
As the Chicago river continues to boil
With your feet in the water
And your head in your pillow
Your body floats to sea
And your eyes fill with sleep

Sleep well Emily
The lights up above have been beaming the shore
And you’re up, up on the balcony
The air don’t stand a chance against your clattering teeth
And I’ve been waiting for hours
As your eyes swoop dangerously low
Even breaths from your windpipe
And in the morning I left, I saw your light fall into mine
We only danced behind closed doors
And the kiss from your lips on my forehead, it burns
And the scorching cold of that November night will be forevermore

We only danced behind closed doors
And the kiss from your lips on my forehead it burns
And the scorching cold of that November night will be forevermore

We only danced behind closed doors
And the kiss from your lips on my forehead it burns
Now you can finally sleep, but what about me, cause I'm tired too
