You dont mean a single word that you say
but you say them anyway
when you try to sleep do you toss and turn all night
like a storm on the ocean so wide
and i dont care that you say you dont dream of me anymore
i dont care where you spend your nights
when you ran away were you sure that you'd stay gone?
and when you found your new home did you forget where you'd come from?
I have heard you say that the world is just in the hands of love
and i have watched you fall from your place so high above
when you try to sleep do you toss and turn all night
because you're sleeping with a lie
i dont care that you say you dont dream of me anymore
i dont care because i dont want to be a part of your life

Try to find your feet, and just walk right out of here
and you'll try to be discrete, so they wont notice
but they'll watch you leave
please take only what you plan to keep
you cant hide what you wear on your sleeve
So hurry home to clean your teeth
brush off that blood from a bitten tongue
When you lie down to go to sleep
the whole room breathes
Now there's a stranger in our house
Now theres a stranger in our house
and I dont know a way for us to make it out
its not the time and its not this place
its the way the stairs have grown
and they halls that they will haunt are
the most traveled but least known
the only way outs the way you came

Sleep Song

When you run from that tangled web they weave
an aching lung for each breath that you breathe
and your legs are too tired to hold you up
your endurance is expired, its time for sleep
When you lay down that heavy head
do you find yourself in a lonely bed?
we're never quite as tired as we think
when you wake from that nightly rest
do you find yourself out of breath?
do you wonder why you never dream?

We are built like a grudge made of brothers and sisters
We all try to breathe underground
We have built our house out of wishes and blisters
We are young but we live alone
We will spill from our mouths all the rain of the world
While I drown in my father's faults
And we will bend, till we break, the back of the beast
and we shall feast upon his thoughts
They say the rain knew what we'd say in the face of truth
So it came to wash us all away
I am a hungry prayer and I do not dare step outside to dine
I am in reverse, and I am cursed to live outside the lines of time
They say the rain knew what we'd say in the face of truth
so it came to wash us all away
They say the world threw a wrench in the gears of those
who are so alone, with only a blistered hand
To rub the back of the night
so what if it rains all the time
