We Are Sick

(album: Able Bodies - 2012)

I wake up but I don't go out,
I sit and I sit and I lay back down
Will I be there for a long time?

And were my eyes only halfway closed? Did I see you in the doorway?
Making sure I was sleeping so soft, and keeping so still, and I never made a sound, but if you weren't there to hold me down...

Loving you was never hard to do,
But I'm sick and they're coming to get me soon
And if they never bring me back to you,
Will you tell me the truth
Will someone tell me the truth?

I walk around but I don't breathe out,
I stumble like a child and I fall to the ground
Will I be there for a long time?

And did my thoughts only make me numb? did I pretend to be normal?
Making sure I was keeping in line, and keeping so still, and I never made a sound, but if you weren't there to hold me down...

Loving you was never hard to do,
But I'm sick and they're coming to get me soon
And if they never bring me back to you,
Will you tell me the truth
Will someone tell me the truth?

Will someone tell me the truth?
Will someone tell me the truth?
Would someone tell me the truth?

I was sleeping so soft, and keeping so still
And I never made a sound,
But if you weren't there to hold me down
I'm in line and keeping so still
And I never made a sound
But if you weren't there to hold me down

Loving you was never hard to do,
But I'm sick and they're coming to get me soon
And if they never bring me back to you,
Will you tell me the truth
Will you tell me the truth?
Would someone tell me?

Holding on was all that I could do, but I'm sick and there is nothing here left for you
And if you hear me from behind your pews,
Will you tell me the truth
Will you tell me the truth
Will someone tell me the truth?!
