King Sleep Lyrics

When was it you realised your mistake

Thinking isolation meant escape

Left looking for someone else to blame

Roll the dice once more

Just a veil over your eyes

Just another cheap disguise

Till you don't recognise

What you think you want

I carried desire and it brought me here

Left alone with my thoughts and all my fears

And the broken wisdom that the years

Will just keep on and on

Now cover your windows and shut off the lights

It's time for us to descend into night

As memories wash over your tired eyes

Just let them close again

And follow the path you find laid out

Tread softly as it carries you down

And try to remember how you felt

When you thought all this was yours

I looked for an answer to the lies

I'm so tired of these dreams

How they persist in the light

I don't have enough left now to fight

Just let me sleep tonight

Too many colours in my head

Just let me sleep tonight

And the walls come away

And the light disappears

And my heart comes apart

And gives up all my fears

And the night opens up

With its longing embrace

I'm so tired of these dreams

I'm so tired of these dreams
