Tuck Me In
Alkaline Trio, The
Maybe I'll Catch Fire (2000)

Tuck me into where it's freezing,
Tuck me into bed with snakes
Tuck me in with the tarantulas,
I wanna let 'em in my mouth
and down my throat to lay their eggs

Tuck me into where there's bleeding,
Where it spills out of the walls onto the floor
Tuck me into where your best friend's apologies
amount to shit, they always did, for ever more
I pour out onto the floor
like liquid white from fallen glass
Nothing to cry over
My skin went sour long ago
It knew it had nowhere else to go

Tuck me into where I'm falling,
Where I can feel the heat rise underneath my wings
and all the fallen angels in hell
will tuck me away from you,
take me away from everything
Tuck me into where there's dying,
Tuck me in with flames and tuck me in with flies,
Maybe then you will appreciate your only friend
with maggots in her eyes or as ashes in the sky

I pour out onto the floor
like liquid white from fallen glass,
Nothing to cry over
My skin went sour long ago
It knew it had no place left to go

I pour out onto the floor
like liquid white from fallen glass,
Nothing to cry over
My skin went sour long ago
It knew it had no place left to go
