lyrics

Bedtime sleepy head you're knocked all the way out
Passed out in your head your thoughts thinking far too loud
And take your time now
Feeling like there's
Nothing but doubt in your nightdress

Barefoot heel to toe these tiles won't ever speak
Secrets in the grout now buried beneath me
Kicking up clouds
Of dusty distress
Nothing but doubt in my nightdress

Oh whisper silently babe
I'll tip toe
Around the bedside table
Right to the window

Pushed down to the latch oh these fingers shake
They've grown too attached it's time for them to break
Shake them up now
You know you've got this
Let the wind rush right through your nightdress

Oh whisper silently babe
I'll tip toe
Through the burgler bars
Right under the window

Oh whisper silently babe
I'll tip toe
Through the burgler bars
Right under the window

Curtained silhouette I said farewell to me
How on earth could you know? You were still asleep.
And I wanted you to stop this
Nothing but doubt inside my nightdress

Oh sleep silently babe
I'll tip toe
Over the balcony
Right outside your window

Oh whisper silently babe
I'll tip toe
Over the balcony
Right outside your window

And I'll sing
Oooh as I fall down
Here I go now
As I fall down
As I fall

Oh sleep silently babe
I'll tip toe
Over the balcony
Right outside your window

Oh whisper silently babe
I'll tip toe
Over the balcony
Right outside your window

I'll tiptoe
I'll tiptoe

Drawing on Scars Atlanta, Georgia

Drawing on Scars is not a band in the traditional sense. The project started out as an online collaboration, with Will Thacker teaming up with various vocalists to help his music come to life.
The music has an aggressive edge to it, but it’s also quite melodic and textural, combining soothing landscapes with hard-hitting riffs. ... more
