The Sound Of Sleep

(album: Iridescent - 2021)

I lie awake, I'm only honest when we 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 Sun
Bastard Sun

You'll burn alone, you'll burn alone, you'll burn alone
You'll burn alone, you'll burn alone, 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 that damned me back
And spun my spine to hear it snap

I learned to forget how to lose myself in a dream until I sink
I learned 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 your voice in my head
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 learned 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 your voice in my head
Don't let me forget the sound because I cannot keep my thoughts in line
The executioner arrives!

Make me blind... you make me blind
Make me blind... you make me blind

So come on all you Consequences
Bodies shaped like indecisions
Made so he can 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 that damned me back
And spun my spine to hear it snap
