Sleeping Pills

Intro

Shadow paint on faded walls

Heavy air beneath it all

Windows cracked to filter blue

Sinking slow in empty rooms

Verse 1

Mirror in the corner, framing distant eyes

Telephone is humming with forgotten signs

Blankets pulled to anchor dreams from drifting on

Breathing in the silence till the night is gone

Chorus

Counting backward in a silent room

Switching off the lights too soon

Gravity's a soft cocoon

I drift away from afternoon

Post-Chorus

Drift away drift away

Just a phase just a haze

Verse 2

Bottle on the nightstand talking back at me

Clouds inside the ceiling make it hard to breathe

Riddles in the shadow linger overhead

Twenty tiny footsteps walking through my head

Pre-Chorus

Time bends the hourglass

Memories slowly pass

Eyes closed to the carousel

Floating where the silence dwells

Chorus

Counting backward in a silent room

Switching off the lights too soon

Gravity's a soft cocoon

I drift away from afternoon

Post-Chorus

Drift away drift away

Just a phase just a haze

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Counting backward in a silent room

Switching off the lights too soon

Gravity's a soft cocoon

I drift away from afternoon

Post-Chorus

Drift away drift away

Just a phase just a haze
