"We Sleep In Pairs" lyrics
"We Sleep In Pairs"
Each night I lay beneath the Earth
I am tired of feeling powerless
With no edge and no reflected light
There is something in the way of us
Don't cry now, all the wheels will turn
There'll be bluebirds over you and I
With black brains, they'll come to save our lives
As our flesh becomes electrified
We sleep in pairs, just waiting
Can you take me away? Can you stop with the lies?
Are you desperate? Yes, I think I'm desperate
What's my best bet? On your deathbed?
Yes, I'm on my last legs, then you're desperate
Blaze on me, bird of paradise
Don't be fearful, don't you close your eyes
Oh, sister, keep the hope alive
We can run before they realise
I'm asking you to heal me
Can you take me away? Can you stop with the lies?
Are you desperate? Yes, I think I'm desperate
What's my best bet? On your deathbed?
Yes, I'm on my last legs, then you're desperate
Can you take me away? Can you stop with the lies?

Black Country, New Road - "Bread Song" Okay, well I just woke up
And you already don't care
That I tried my best to hold you
Through the headset that you wear

Over where the signal's good
There's no way to...
Gengahr - "I'm So Tired" I'm so tired
Sheep are counting me
No more struggle
No more energy

Out here
I can barely see my breath...
Arcade Fire - "My Body Is A Cage" My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key

From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
I'm standing on...
The Antlers - "Epilogue" In a nightmare, I am falling from the ceiling into bed beside you
You're asleep, I'm screaming, shoving you to try to wake you up
And like before, you've got no interest in the life you live when...
