[VERSE] (acoustic guitar)

A mother sings a lullaby to a child 
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy 
A walk in the woods and I will try 
Something under the trees that made you cry
It's so erotic when your make up runs 

[CHORUS] (acoustic guitar)

I got wiring loose inside my head

I got books that I never ever read

I got secrets in my garden shed

I got a scar where all my urges bled

I got people underneath my bed

I got a place where all my dreams are dead

Swim with me into your blackest eyes
    
    

VERSE

A few minutes with me inside my van 
Should be so beautiful if we can
I'm feeling something taking over me 
I got wiring loose inside my head

I got books that I never ever read

I got secrets in my garden shed

I got a scar where all my urges bled

I got people underneath my bed

I got a place where all my dreams are dead

Bb Cadd9 (Dsus2)

Swim with me into your blackest eyes
