mtns. (the crown & anchor)

you're never awake, but you don't seem to sleep at all, those stolen flowers inside your guts, will take you away, steady the hand that lays the child to bed, barbitals and decay, the crown and the anchor, you'll curse at the sky, three words for which the boys have no names, how many beasts in the night, to take you away, what quivers and shakes?, what fills your stomach and clogs your veins?, whose claws do scratch at your wooden limbs?, and tear you away, steady the hand that lays the child to bed, barbitals and decay, the crown and the anchor, we will never sleep, we will never wake, we will drift away, we will never sleep, we will never wake, we will drift away
