#lyricsonly An experiment on my part, trying to write a one-sided conversation along the lines of some of the role-playing audio programs I’ve heard. This whole story line (but not the character) is borrowed from the StellarAudio ASMR channel on YouTube. It’s a very different style and experience from the songs that I usually write.

I know it’s late Is it okay if I come in I had a nightmare I don’t know where to begin I’m so sorry to bother you This late at night But if I’m alone right now The shadows might bite

What brought on the nightmare I really don’t know I gave up macadamia oil Six years ago Most of my nightmares back then Came out of that jar Isn’t the human body So very bizarre

Without you to hold me I don’t know what I would do If you want to move closer I might like that too

Oh yes my breathing It’s so shallow and rapid And my shoulders are tense I don’t know how that happened I don’t think I should tell you Much of the dream In just a few words I’d be reliving the scene

Without you to hold me I don’t know what I would do If you want to move closer I might like that too

Do you have a story to tell Something that happened today If you don’t feel like talking That’s also okay It makes me feel better Just to know that you’re near I hope it’s not a problem If I fall asleep right here

Without you to hold me I don’t know what I would do If you want to move closer I might like that too
