Babies and Sleeves

a song—indie—key of ???

i'm on the floor, i'm not alive:
i'm in suspended states of time
i'm on my hands and knees
looking out at redwood trees

there's a boxcut blade right next to me
the cartoon's technicolored green
i want it to turn red
before i climb back up in my bed

where does the sunset go
when the babies go to sleep?
i'm afraid i'll never know
'cause there's blood soaked in my sleeve

i'm on the floor, i'm not alive
i reek of coriander and thyme
my veins are left without a prayer
rising up into the air

there's a boxcut blade right next to me
and it seems it's all i need
i only want to see red
before i climb back up in my bed

where does the sunset go
when the babies go to sleep?
i'm afraid i'll never know
'cause there's blood soaked in my sleeve

there's a boxcut blade right next to me
and it's over: one, two, three
i can count inside my head
the times i fell out of my bed

where does the sunset go
when the babies go to sleep?
i'm afraid i'll never know
'cause there's blood soaked in my sleeve
