Lullabies

Just lie there, you're on display Pretty shame, my pretty thing While you pretend to close your eyes I'll sing you dirty lullabies Sleeping deep in crimson sheets Tired from the stifling heat I'm breathing in your taste Circled safe within your embrace I can't feel a thing Except our skin and in between You're inside and I am breathing in This suffocating heat Drunken summers still among us We will sever all our worldly ties I'll sing all of our days to sleep With my dirty lullabies I can't feel a thing Except our skin and in between You're inside and I am breathing in This suffocating heat In the rain the willows weep Clinging to the skin Your fingers soothe the summer burns Delicately trace them in Men around me come and go And I am known for wandering But if you keep me, I will hold your hands And I will bless you always --- Lullabies - Ari Mason
