Sleepyhead 2025

And you said, "It was like fire around the brim

Burning solid, burning thin the burning rim"

Like stars burning holes right through the dark

Flicking fire like saltwater into my eyes

You were one inch from the edge of this bed

I drag you back

A sleepyhead

Sleepyhead

They couldn't think of something to say the day you burst

Built all of your lions with all their might and all their thirst

They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin

Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin

My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors

Of your eyes, begonia skies

Like a sleepyhead

Sleepyhead

And everything is going to the beat

And everything is going to the beat

And everything is going to the beat

And everything is going to the beat

And everything is going to the beat

A sleepyhead, sleepyhead

A sleepyhead, sleepyhead
