Lyrics

Bedtime stories just got the Allegories that stay in the book

So much was simply over

In the little bit of time it took

So come on and trace me that arc

So we won't have to wait in the dark

So we won't have to wail in the

place you lay waste to your spark

All those secrets buried alive

Just a prefix, bees in a hive

And the one thought that you're leaving

Is baby, only walls survive

So come on and trace me that arc

So we won't have to wait in the dark

So we won't have to wait in the

place you lay waste to your spark

And now we know when someone owes,

someone pays

For lessons frozen in your gaze

Impressing only that no one ever stays

And now there's poetry and

prose in your name

It overflows the frame

Trying to impose a theory on the game

So come on and trace me that arc

So we won't have to wait in the dark

So we won't have to wait for the song

or the revenant lark

And now we know when someone owes,

someone pays

For lessons frozen in your gaze

Impressing only that no one ever stays

And now there's poetry and

prose in your name

It overflows the frame

Trying to impose a theory on the game

Bedtime stories, before the end

Tiresome worries, time's not your friend

And no thought is recovered

From a novel little writer's crook

So come on and trace me that arc

So we won't have to wait in the dark

So we won't have to wait in the dark
