Never Slept So Soundly

(album: The Resignation - 2003)

Couldn't see the moon when she came tonight
Emptiness inside her filled my room
I know it's only distance but it feels just like the end
I won't ask this same old question
Adamant resistance to my lasting desires
Searching for an explanation to why I sleep alone
Oh I'm not darling anymore
If you call you just use my name
Let these clenched fists open wide
To see where all the answers lie

Looking for a sign that I'm still alive
With these pilled up smiles and these sloppy eyes yeah
Isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between your sheets
All the maybes in the world don't mean anything now
Pray it's over soon

Never slept so soundly than with your breath on my neck

The present has no future
The future has no past
The past is just a graveyard
For the lonely ghost regret
It's so hard to say good-bye
When I shake too much to hold
Let this blood within me run
So I can see the answers dry

Looking for a sign that I'm still alive
With this junkie smile and these sloppy eyes yeah
Isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between your sheets
All the maybes in the world don't mean anything now
Pray it's over soon

Finding our directions
Stumble, stagger, fall away
Oh yeah

Finding our direction
Let it lead the way
Part of what you borrowed
Can never be replaced
So pardon my deflection baby
There's no more blood to bleed
But if I can I'll be sewing up the seams
Picking up what's left of me
To sing together

Looking for a sign that I'm still alive
With these pilled up smiles and these sloppy eyes yeah
Isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between the sheets
All the maybes in the world don't mean a thing yeah
Isn't that the truth?

And I'm looking for reason that I'm still alive
With these pilled up smiles and these junkie eyes
Isn't that the truth?
And all the hollow whisperings from between your sheets
All the maybes in the world don't mean anything now
Pray it's over soon

I never slept so soundly than with your breath on my neck
