Silent Planet
The Sound of Sleep
I lie awake
I'm only honest when we sleep
Rip the wrath out from the sun
Carve its rage down into my lungs
"Bastard son, bastard sun, you'll burn alone"
Cinch me up with shards of glass
I'm sung to sleep by cars that crash
I'll bow to gods who damn me back
And spun my spine to hear it snap
I'll learn to forget
How to lose myself in a dream until I sink
I'll learn to forget
The intervals of syllables that sound like sleep
Can you save me from the cure?
Don't let me forget the sound of sleep
I lie awake
I'm only honest when we sleep, so who am I to speak?
With doubt lining my cheek and chemicals for teeth
I will live forever starving for a tragedy
I learned to forget
How to lose myself in a dream until I sink
I'll learn to forget
The intervals of syllables that sound like sleep
Can you save me from the cure?
Don't let me forget
Don't let me forget because
I cannot keep my thoughts in line
The executioner is blind
(Wasting time, we're wasting time)
So come on all you consequences
Bodies shaped like indecisions
Made so he could make his meaning
As if more blood could stop the bleeding
Cinch me up with shards of glass
I'm sung to sleep by cars that crash
I'll bow to gods who damn me back
And spun my spine to hear it snap
