Midnight

Your gut says "turn away and walk back the way you came"

That these words are not for those awake

I watch your feet step through the fallen leaves

And I hear your heart by its broken beat

Then I smell the sickness you've got in you

And I understand the reason why you came to me

And I understand why you're not afraid

You called my name out so I showed my face

And the birds in the nest of my hair started fluttering

And I held your wrists, bound your hands filled with fine sand

And told you to trust me as though I were your enemy

And I sank my teeth in to your ribs

And drew out the blood that had turned on you

And left you to find your way back home

And I told you to guard our little secret well

And to never try and find me again

Because the next time you step beyond your walls

I'll be gone, I'll be gone, I'll be gone, I'll be gone
