Sleep Lyrics

The house feels empty when she's asleep, but it's in her dreams that I keep

the broken memories of a time when we both were walking a line

Between the worlds of the living and dead, we were asleep until we went to bed

When there finally was time for something else, we were incapable of being ourselves

And so the years kept rolling by, I kept thinking this is how I will die

Nothing matters, nothing is true, all my time wasted not being with you

And I kept seeing you as you walked past, nothing to say, nothing would last

Are you a memory or a dream? When will we ever take time to be

So when you saw me walking alone, why didn't you stop to say hello

I know you think you don't have time, but have you forgotten you used to be mine

I could never get used to being alone, I kept talking though you weren't home

Kept turning around as if you were there, never remembering you weren't near

When it got dark, I got suddenly cold, you weren't there for warmth, you weren't there to hold

When I awoke, you were already gone, so I went back to being alone

So when you saw me walking alone, what didn't you stop to say hello

I know you think you don't have time, but have you forgotten you used to be mine

So when we sat there looking across, from a table made of bloodied glass

Nothing but the sound of the breathing of you, I couldn't think of anything to do

When it finally was time to say goodbye, you took your coat and you left me mine

And if I ever saw you again, I doubt it would feel the same
