Sleep

Hear your heartbeat
Beat a frantic pace
And it’s not even seven AM.
You’re feeling the rush
Of anguish settling,
You cannot help showing them in.
Hurry up, then,
Or you’ll fall behind and
They will take control of you,
And you need to heal
The hurt behind your eyes,
Fickle words crowding your mind.

So
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you’re safe within.
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning.

Try as you might,
You try to give it up,
Seems to be holding on fast.
It’s hand in your hand,
A shadow over you,
A beggar for soul in your face.
Still it don’t mater
If you won’t listen,
If you won’t let them follow you.
You just need to heal,
Make good all your lies,
Move on and don’t look behind.

So
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you’re safe within.
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning.

Day after day
Fickle visions
Messing with your head,
Fickle, vicious.
Sleeping in your bed,
Messing with your head,
Fickle visions,
Fickle, vicious…

Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you’re safe within.
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning.

Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you’re safe within.
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning.


[ Poets Of The Fall ]

Mi viene in mente un bel ricordo ascoltando questa canzone.
