Sleep Through The Static: Remixed

Your shadow walks faster than you
You don’t really know what to do
Do you think that you’re not alone?
You really think that you’re immune to it
It’s going to get the best of you
It’s going to lift you up then let you down

It will defeat you
Then teach you to get back up
After it takes away
All that you learned to love

Your reflection is a blur
Out of focus but in confusion
The frames the sun did burn
At the end of a roll of delusions
A ghost waiting its turn
And now I can see right through it
It’s a warning that nobody heard

It will teach you
To love what you’re afraid of
After it takes away
All that you’ve learned to love

But you don’t
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart

You better hope you’re not alone

Your echo comes back out of tune
Now you can’t quite get used to it
Reverb is just the room
The problem is that there’s no truth to it
It’s fading away too soon
Your shadow is on the move
And maybe you should be moving too

Before it takes away
All that you’ve learned to love
It will defeat you
Then teach you to get back up

Because you don’t
Always
Have to hold your head
Higher than your heart

You better hope you’re not alone

Don’t worry
Everybody in the room notices you
Sit back and relax the night is early
You’re about to overdo it
So come and tell me something that you’ve already told me
Because everybody’s heard all of your stories
I hope that some of them are true

I’ve been losing lots of keys lately
I don’t know what that means but maybe
I’d be better off with things that can’t be locked at all

I’ve been feeling kind of seasick lately
See you reaching to me going to save me
If it’s you or me I would much rather take the fall

The world has its ways
To quiet us down
The world has its ways
To quiet us down
Down comes the rain
Down come our spirits again
But down comes the strength
To lift us up and then

Been going
Upwind now
For too long
Forget how
To let go
Seems too hard
Too late now
To turn around

The world has its ways
To quiet us down
The world has its ways
To quiet us down
Down comes the rain
Down go our spirits again
But down comes the strength
To lift us up and then

I feel sorrow for the fear
And everything it brings
And wonder if it will ever sleep

I know you understand
Because you briefly look away
Focusing on nothing so now everything is clear
Because there’s no one to blame
You’ve got no place to hide
It’s only in your mind

And I saw you
In amazement stumbling through the day
You told me time never waits
What is that supposed to mean

All of life
Is in one drop of the ocean waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon
Can turn the tides it can pull the tears
And take them from our eyes
Make them into monsoons
Turn them into monsoon-er or later
They’ll weep their way back to the sea
Going to finally be free
Free for a while
Until they break
Like waves of sorrow always do
All in due time
Because time never waits

Daddy don’t daydream again
Just help me to believe and then
Show me that there’s more than the meantime

Sonny do you hear the sound
You will feel it when it breaks
You will know it when it’s gone
How else can I explain

Because it’s only the pain
Coming straight through
Coming to remind

Cross cut to you
In amazement stumbling through the day
You tell me time never waits
That’s okay because I don’t wait for time

When all of life
Is in one drop of the ocean
Waiting to go home
Just waiting to go home
And if the moon
Can turn the tides it can pull the tears
And take them from our eyes
Turn them into monsoons
Make them into monsoon-er or later
They’ll weep their way back to the sea
Going to finally be free
Free for a while
Until they break
Like waves of sorrow always break
All in due time
Because time never waits

I’ve got an angel
She doesn’t wear any wings
She wears a heart that could melt my own
She wears a smile that could make me want to sing

She gives me presents
With her presence alone
She gives me everything I could wish for
She gives me kisses on the lips just for coming home

She can make angels
I’ve seen it with my own eyes
You’ve got to be careful when you’ve got good love
Cause them angels will just keep on multiplying

You’re so busy changing the world
Just one smile and you could change all of mine
We share the same soul

Tied down against the tracks
Screaming in silent black and white
Why’d you trust us we are such villains
We would tell ourselves anything we want to hear if we are willing
To listen is to learn
Then too much is what we deserve

And how come when we say that we do
We don’t
Pray to anybody you want
We won’t

But if we’re the ones to blame then the fruit
Shouldn’t taste so good we were used
Used to thinking we got nothing to lose
We’re losing everything but the truth
Is walking straight into a roadblock ending left here bending
Your point of view was chosen by the serpent’s ruse

With all it’s do’s and don’ts
The future is an empty promise unconcerned and so tired of waiting
We could sell it wooden horses full of nightmares and when they open
This all might recompose
There’s no going back to the good old days it’s just a phase bring in some new life
Archaism is a dusty road leading us back to nowhere

But if we’re the ones to blame then the fruit
Shouldn’t taste so good we were used
Used to thinking we got nothing to lose
We’re losing everything but the truth
Is walking straight into a roadblock ending left here bending
Your point of view was chosen by the serpent’s ruse

How come when we say we do
We don’t
How come when we say we will
We won’t

Your shadow walks faster than you

If I had eyes in the back of my head
I would have told you that you looked good as I walked away
And if you could have tried to trust the hand that fed
You would have never been hungry but you’d never really be
More of this or less of this or is there any difference
Or are we just holding on to things that we don’t have anymore

Sometimes time doesn’t heal
No not at all
It just stands still
While we fall
In or out of love
Again I doubt
I’m going to win you back
When you’ve got eyes like that
That won’t let me in
Always looking out

A lot of people spend their time just floating
We were victims together but lonely
You’ve got hungry eyes that just can’t look forward
Can’t give them enough but we just can’t start over
Building with bent nails we’re falling but holding
I don’t want to take up anymore of your time
Time time time

Sometimes time doesn’t heal
No not at all
It just stands still
While we fall
In or out of love
Again I doubt
I’m going to win you back
When you’ve got eyes like that
That won’t let me in
Always looking out

After we spoke I had a dream that I broke
The teeth from a mouth of a snake
Then I choked on the teeth they were mine all along
I picked up the pieces when I woke up
I put them in a boat made of things that I don’t want to see
I blew on the sail watched it drift out to sea
The further it drifted the closer it came to me I can’t explain
So I took it apart built a billion boxes
But there was only one key

You might think I’m your enemy
But that don’t make you mine
And all I have now is empathy
I wish that you’d stop trying
Please stop lying

I put hatred in a box then I locked it
The strongest one I made
I buried it all grew a tree without thorns
And sat beneath it’s shade

You might think I’m your enemy
But that don’t make you mine
And all I have now is empathy
I wish that you’d stop trying
Oh please stop lying
