lyrics

make me a throne, make me a bed along the wall
what makes a man equate the need to sleep with giving up
make me a stone, heavy as lead on the length of your arm
what makes a man begin to need everything you are

I made an end, I made amends, I was made unafraid
tucked fast asleep and in-between your shoulder blades
tying a rope to something I know with a name I can't place
digging a hole straight down to where that woman lays

saying

"Don't touch me
You'll cut your hands, you'll see
before long"

I made a ladder, I'm making a way to cut back through
when I get back I'm making you take me back up to the roof
and your brother's there and he's fixed up the rope you used to use
To get up to where everything was small and there was nothing to lose

So don't run from me
Cause I get tired so easily you'll see
before long
