[Intro]
Weighted smile
Button eyes, stitched grin
You tucked him in
So innocent
Yeah, right
[Verse 1]
He’s on the dresser
Watching every move I make
Glass bead eyes
Counting every breath I take
You kiss him first
Then you kiss me last
I see his shadow
Growing bigger on the glass
Little green gut sack
Heavy with the sand pack
Every night you clutch him
I’m the one pushed back
He hears you talk
He knows your every fear
Tail twitch slight
When you pull him near
[Chorus]
That weighted dinosaur wants my life (my life)
Stuffed with spite, sleeping by your side (your side)
Claws in your shirt, poison in his mind
He’s coming for your heart
And he’s cutting out mine
That weighted dinosaur wants my throne (my throne)
Plotting in the dark when we’re alone (alone)
You think he’s soft
But I see those eyes
He’s coming for my place
And he’s sharpening his smile
[Verse 2]
Middle of the night
Hear a thump on the floor
Little felt feet
Drag across the cold boards
Tail leaves dust
In a crooked line
He’s humming with the weight
Like a ticking spine
Jumps on my chest
All forty ounces press
Sewn-on teeth
Digging into my neck
Whispers in a felt mouth
Cotton breath, death vow
“I’m the only one
Who gets to hold him now”
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
He’s perched on your pillow
Head on your arm
He copies my laugh
He mimics my charm
He leans in close
Says, “She’s not your type
I never sleep
I never leave
I’m always right”
[growled]
He prays you pick him
When I walk out the door
Tiny king
On a poly-fill throne of war
If I disappear
You’ll say it’s just fate
But I’ll know who planned it
All that hidden weight
[Chorus]
