Down(ward)
And

She won't care
Anyway (where)
Soft
As a pillow
Touch her there
Where she won't dare
Somewhere
Sleep
Like a (royal)

Think
That you grew
Stronger there
Speak
Your troubles
She's not scared
Soft like there's silk
Everywhere
Sleep

Come
Where she won't dare
Anyway (where)
(Look)
In the mirror
She's not there
Where she won't care
