Counting Sheep

(альбом: Safe Ship, Harbored - 2011)

You sigh into your cup of coffee as you watch the morning news
There goes your good day
There's the knot on the noose

Pop your pill and force a smile
Feign contentment for a while
That's all you know how to do

When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime
When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime

Medicine to make you thin
But puts an end to your dreaming
Bleeding together, the nights seem to stretch on forever

Morning comes a day too soon
You're back inside your tiny room
Waiting for something, so good at doing nothing

When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime
When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime

As the sunlight filters in
Then your daily dread sets in
The cycle's beginning, and in your head alarms are ringing

Something in you's fast asleep
Afraid to be who you will be
It's a losing battle, so why are you still fighting?

When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime
When the wool is off your eyes
You'll stop counting sheep at night
Cause you'll eat your fill of them during the daytime

Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping, brother John?

Are you sleeping?
(Bells are ringing)
Are you sleeping?
(Bells are ringing)
Brother John?
(Ding ding dong)

Are you sleeping?
(Bells are ringing)
Are you sleeping?
(Bells are ringing)
Brother John?
(Ding ding dong)

Are you sleeping?
(Bells are ringing)
Are you sleeping?
(Bells are ringing)
Brother John?
(Ding ding dong)

Bells are ringing
Bells are ringing
Ding ding dong

Ding ding ding ding
Ding ding ding ding
Ding ding ding ding
