Settle My Nerve

from The Wild Things EP by Alaska

	/

lyrics

I am the breath that bounces in your lungs
And you are the lyric sung in this song
And we're both just stealing the breath from one another's pulsing throats
But you know I hear breath these days comes cheap

God is just something for you to believe in for fun
It's what's in style this month
And you know he knows that you are a fool
Just like I am a fool too
For trusting everything you say

So I will sleep you off tonight
And settle my nerve
Maybe my dreams and mind will fight
Maybe one day I will learn

A nightmare never needs light to show you that you are lost
Better get up for forgiveness 'cause darling it comes at a cost
And you came in and re-wrote all my dreams
And rearranged everyone of my seams
And you haunt me when I sleep

So I will sleep you off tonight
And settle my nerve
Maybe my dreams and mind will fight
Maybe one day I will learn

I will let go of all that I know
After all what's left except to let go
I will let go of all that I know
After all what's left except to let go

So I will sleep you off tonight
And settle my nerve
Maybe my dreams and mind will fight
Maybe one day I will learn

I will learn X3
