Em            C
You're never awake

Em                       B        C
Though you don't seem to sleep at all

Em                     D         C
Those stolen flowers inside your guts

Em             C
Will take you away
[Chorus]
Em         D         B        C        G
Steady the hand that lays the child to bed

Em            B
Barbitals and decay

    Bm            C      D  Em
The crown and the anchor
[Verse 2]
Em                  C
You'll curse at the sky

Em                             B       C
Three words for which the boys have no names

Em                     D Em C
How many beasts in the night

Em            C
To take you away

Em               C
What quivers and shakes

Em                          B          C
What fills your stomach and clogs your veins

Em                             D      C
Whose claws do scratch at your wooden limbs

Em           C
And tear you away
[Chorus 2]
Em         D         B        C       G
Steady the hand that lays the dogs to rest

Em            B
Barbitals and decay

    Bm            C      D  Em
The crown and the anchor

We will never wake

We will drift away

We will never sleep

We will never wake

We will drift away
