Ooh ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh ooh

Sleep now under my skin
Make sure you’ll try to
Conjure the wind
And ease my mind

Ooh ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh ooh

Somebody call out to your brother
He’s calling out your name
Oh oh oh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Oh oh oh
You couldn’t help out your own neighbor
You couldn’t tell it to his face
You were fucked up by the blame

You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it out and say
Let it pass away

Sleep now under my skin
Make sure you try to
Conjure the wind
And ease my mind

And I said
Ooh ooh ooh oh
Ooh ooh ooh

Somebody call out to your brother
He’s calling out your name
Oh oh oh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Oh oh oh
You couldn’t help out your own neighbor
You couldn’t tell it to his face
You were fucked up by the blame

You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it out and say

You cower in the corner
Confide in your father
Let it break your day
Let it out and say

Wait there
Pull yourself out of this state dear
Acknowledge you were a fake here
From there on you might just grow
Oh oh oh

Somebody call out to your brother
He’s calling out your name
Oh oh oh
Hiding under the covers
With no one else to blame
Oh oh oh
Oh, you couldn’t help out your own neighbor
You couldn’t tell it to his face
You were fucked up by the blame
