Precious this hate Laid out it's clear A stone too hard to carve It splinters Little sister shall we whisper? Faith Faith Faith Faith Cleansing Quench all thought Invading Through these ears it sounds like rape
2.
Listen to everything Juggling Balancing Taking your fingers from out of your ears and then Watching the rhetoric Hey what was that he said? Bury your head back inside You just said fuck it If you're not angry Then you're not listening Essential To living Is closing eyes and yawning They wont let me So while you sleep I'm planning To glue your eyes shut Forgive me children You're programmed So while you sleep Watching the windows be washed While life explodes Is this coffee free trade? So while you sleep I'll forfeit My part in it To live in isolation So while you sleep They'll tell you frankly and friendly that at this moment they don't have you by the throat So while you sleep We choose This life In disarray Things out of place Waiting for death Spewing slogans into our hands to throw them in the air In celebration of nothing, now wait for death So while you sleep So while you sleep So while you sleep Fucking while you sleep
3.
Oh new dawn give the courage to get out of bed Oh red sky I have something to struggle against Oh dead bird preach to me life and death Of dear suburbs how bleak in bright blue you Repress in these fires gather more fuel for the smoldering tyrants Descendants spoke Their pride postures Mourning melts the grief into anger Are we still alone Are we still alive Some will never live Some will never die Oh new dawn how grateful I have Something to struggle against
4.
Both my eyes are open But I’m not awake My broken heart is bleeding But this pain feels fake Beneath this black tie that holds my spine up straight to this desk gnawing at my shackled teeth I am nothing At night I lie to myself That there was a yesterday And in 100 years Someone will remember my name All my hopes and dreams Stapled to this bed With the fuck all I’m fed And the shit they said on tv To make us forget this is real washed away in the static sea everything ends I am nothing As I walk these crowded streets I am alone I only feel alive when I’m asleep I hold an image in my head of who I was Like a promise I can’t keep I am nothing As I wither away In my self-indulgent hole I think of might have beens If I hadn’t lost control Staring back at the void Saying nihilism wrong Because nothing matters Everything was beautiful and nothing hurt So it goes that is not dead which can eternal lie and with strange aeons even death may die
5.
And the world closed its eyes And fell into sleep As deep as any dream And it will never wake
