Sleeping At Last - Destroy Lyrics

Sleeping At Last Lyrics

"Destroy"

Smash the hourglass
Into oblivion-
Time stands still
The shattering of glass
And the avalanche of sand
Breaks the spell

Time, I want to feel your tender heart
Break just like mine-
For the soft and sharp of a rose that was grown
To be pruned and pruned
Until it dies

I'm talking in my sleep
Maybe I'm saying what I mean
Time will tell
The quiet part out loud
Sets the table, shifts the ground
Rings the bell

Don't overthink it
Don't overthink it
Don't overthink it
Just pick up the pieces
Don't overthink this

Time, I want to see you hesitate
Even change your mind
Be born, get older and tired and anxious
And buried with hope
For an afterlife

In our storybooks
Written in our DNA
Birth is pain
The phoenix and the ash
Transformation in the third act
Keeps dread at bay
So I'm gonna light a match
And if it all goes up in flames
God, I hope the fire lights the way

Don't overthink it
Don't overthink it
Don't overthink it
Pulled apart by the minute
Don't overthink it
Don't overthink it
Don't overthink it
Don't overthink it
Just pick up the pieces
Just pick up the pieces
