Lyrics:

Animal nuzzles up to my shoulder

Sweats and grunts and pushes me over
With its musty mane in my eyes
I'm closed off and protected

Inside sleep together
Sleep within sleep
It's everywhere
I'm safe, safe with the head of the animal
Breathe on my breath
There's nothing else
Gone world, gone
When he wakes in all our red rooms
Next to pillows that scream 'alone'
And we're shaking uncompleted
Aching for this creeping sleep
On which to ride away
Animal nuzzles up to my shoulder

Sweats and grunts and pushes me over

Sleep is the animal whose name is safety
Whose name is angel's wings
Whose name is never will it happen to me
Whose arms are the longest the world will ever see
Whose voice is Jesus saying 'innocence is the child'
Whose breath is warmth and the scent of safety and the taste of purity

Animal flies me in a hollow in it's belly

Until the world's gone
The world's gone
The world's gone
Until the world's gone
The world's gone
The world's gone
Inside a world inside a world inside a world
Inside a world inside a world inside a world
Inside a world inside a world
When he wakes in all our red rooms
Next to pillows that scream 'alone'
And we're shaking uncompleted
Surrender to the creeping sleep
When he wakes in all our red rooms
Aching for this creeping sleep
On which to ride away
