The Heavy Sleep

Verse 1

Counting plastic sheep

The clock face stares through the wall

Cold sweat on my palms

My morning began with a scream

Chorus

Close the blinds and let me drift away

Down to the place where I feel okay

Keep the light out for another day

Let it sink into the blue

I'm just waiting to find you

Let it sink into the blue

Post-Chorus

Falling now

Way down now

Hold on tight

Turn off the light

Verse 2

Every street I walk feels like a cage

Iron bars

Heads turning as the engine stalls out

Sick of these hours

I just need to find a heavy sleep

Deep inside a velvet dark

Before the sirens start

Chorus

Close the blinds and let me drift away

Down to the place where I feel okay

Keep the light out for another day

Let it sink into the blue

I'm just waiting to find you

Let it sink into the blue

Post-Chorus

Falling now

Way down now

Hold on tight

Turn off the light

Bridge

Under the waves I go

Let it flow

Watch it flow

I'm tired of the noise

I'm tired of the heat

I'm tired of the lies

Everything I wanted stayed out of reach

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Close the blinds and let me drift away

Down to the place where I feel okay

Keep the light out for another day

Let it sink into the blue

I'm just waiting to find you

Let it sink into the blue

Post-Chorus

Falling now

Way down now

Hold on tight

Turn off the light

Outro

I'm going under

I'm going home

Finally safe

Finally quiet

Let the dreaming begin
