Night Terrors I was sleeping when you called, short of breath and coughing phleghm Forgetting your night terrors are your new husband's problem You were sure something awful had already begun Mumbling 'bout gas masks, seemed a little like world war one Contact me through my lawyer, delete my number from your phone I didn't believe you then, oh how could I have known There was a sick man bleeding on a shipping container Under a flag of convenience off the coast of Malaysia And the air seal cracked in the tropical heat And the strain will be stateside in a matter of weeks Instead of "take me back" I said, "I already know we end up dead I already know we end up dead So can I please go back to bed?" I was with your replacement when I heard you knock I told her go hide in the basement while I make sure the doors are locked But you knew she was down there, you could see it on my face You always knew unlikely things like you could never be replaced If you keep waking up screaming you're afraid that he might leave Oh lord, I hope so, I choose not to believe things like The bug developed antibiotic resistance And there's speedboats of pirates humming off in the distance And the culling is coming and peacetime is hell And our love was stillborn we were just fooling ourselves Instead of "take me back" I said, "I already know we end up dead I already know we end up dead So can I please go back to bed?"
