[Intro]
I'm spinnin' new dreams by the skin of my teeth
Don't give me bad seeds, I'm tryna turn leaves
[Verse 1]
Slow down and swim back for us now
Look around
Crowds of faces smilin' proud
[Pre-Chorus]
Crimson sky to mark the mournin'
I prayed to God you heard him callin'
Dead of night, an angel fallin'
You ripped the clothes from off your back
Let the sirens draw you out
[Chorus]
I'm spinnin' new dreams by the skin of my teeth
Don't give me bad seeds, I'm tryna turn leaves
I'm spinnin' new dreams by the skin of my teeth
Don't give me bad seeds, I'm tryna turn leaves
[Verse 2]
Swept up and breathless in the dark
Desperate for howlin' seas to calm
[Pre-Chorus]
Crimson sky to mark the mournin'
Prayеd to God you heard him callin'
Dead of night, an angel fallin'
You rippеd the clothes from off your back
Let the sirens draw you out
[Chorus]
I'm spinnin' new dreams by the skin of my teeth
Don't give me bad seeds, I'm tryna turn leaves
I'm spinning' new dreams by the skin of my teeth
Don't give me bad seeds, I'm tryna turn leaves
[Outro]
Pain drownin' your heart
Friends sayin', "We knew it from the start"
If we did, it wouldn't have got this far
Guess we'll never know, never know

Last winter I wrote two deeply personal songs that came to life as a result of a series of recurring nightmares, something I’ve struggled with for as long as I can remember. There was something hugely cathartic about putting some of that terrifying imagery into my music.
