Sleep Talker 02:48
I'm losing touch of myself My friends, my head Bleeding through my ears My fears are real I lie awake in the sun That's what I do for fun I'm losing touch of myself My friends live in my head bleeding through my ears I talk in my sleep I won't recall what I said I won't describe what I ment I have no secrets to keep I talk in my sleep

I'm black and blue There's nothing I can do Where have all my bones gone? Don't you know I've fallen apart from the pain? Where's the gain? That's when my skin began to rot My breath was green, yes my coffee is still hot Thanks a lot I can't feel you the way I used to But that is something only time can take away but not today..... ... .. .

She's my beauty queen she's my undercover lover She sings songs only a mother would love In a letter you said don't waste a day Ignorance won't keep the truth away My baby don't know my like she used to know me She hides away in the tops of the trees Hoping I'll notice and recognize Its not a disguise My baby don't know me like you know me Water my fire Embracing the gift to exist and love more pure than wine we spark in the dark She's my beauty queen, my passion fruit lover Sings song for the angels and doves Only mothers would love My baby don't know where she needs to go Waiting in line aging with time dreams that I'll see with my own two eyes And at the end of the day I'll call her mine

I was a child then. Living on rocks, swimming with sharks Now I'm a decease man Warning my neighbours of uncommon dangers watching over children razors in parks, cocaine in chalk sticks I can't feel angry Feeling's for living diseases are killers Everyone lies when you ask them where they'd rather be Ask me again I'll tell you that heavens for me Churches are burning and children are learning to read Walk through the crowd like we're walking on clouds its a breeze I swallowed my pills, paid all my bills Drank fairly heavily Nobody knew I would die before you I watered my plants Swam to an island you followed behind me I felt alive when I tripped and died I fell in love with the woman who took care of me Promised the children I'd called them at least once a week Stoned to the table I am unable to be The man with a smile who takes his kids out for ice cream Was I in love with the woman who took care of me Promised the children I'd call them at least once a year Stoned in the stairwell I am unable to be The man with a smile who's luring kids with ice cream
