Swallowing Sleep

(альбом: See Dreams - 2013)

I swallowed a handful of sleep last night
We met in the strangest place, somewhere on a rooftop
I could see everything, hearing every perfect word
I couldn't open my mouth to tell you what's been burning me

I'll place these pills under my tongue
Our portraits torn from where they hung
The projector reels in all my worst fears
My eyelids are a screen for all those years

I'd kill to show you that there's been a change in me
I know you're doing well, I wish I could say the same for me
The drugs and the drinking are the only way I see you any more
I'll become an addict just so we can talk about our future

I'll place these pills under my tongue
Our portraits torn from where they hung
The projector reels in all my worst fears
My eyelids are a screen

I can see you in the shadows, doesn't matter where you are
I can hear your perfect wording burning slowly through my heart
We jumped from a cherry blossom until we hit the blue
She's not you

She's not you and I'm not myself
We were invincible, I loved how it felt
I drew my heart in chalk on the floor
Without these pills I don't sleep anymore

I'll place these pills under my tongue
Our portraits torn from where they hung
The projector reels in all my worst fears
My eyelids are a screen

I'll place these pills under my tongue
Our portraits torn from where they hung
The projector reels in all my worst fears
My eyelids are a screen

I can see you in the shadows, doesn't matter where you are
I can hear your perfect wording burning slowly through my heart
We jumped from a cherry blossom until we hit the blue
She's not you
