Graceless, falling slipping in the cold 
with no one looking, 
can anybody see 
										
the whole of your decency under the snow 
when you land, when you land 
know all there is to know 
splinters trigger 
pain inside your thumb 
don't give way to it 
till the axe has swung 
you're carelessly catching the strings while you play 
relax, relax 
let your silence have its say 
i dreamed of being alone 
it's not so bad at all 
alone alone 
it's not so bad at all 
i sleep with my clothes 
i sleep with my shoes on 
the sheets are twisted 
getting in the way 
i stare at the carpet 
it's stained by the sun 
come on, come on 
let this silence have its say 
i dreamed of being alone 
it's not so bad at all 
alone, alone 
it's not so bad at all 
---- sleeping became useless when the thought had hit my mind 
---- the markings from your socks impressing skin into design
