lyrics

Holding out just waiting for a sign, a bottled ship on course to ruin your life.
And piss away your dreams uptide, where a lot of good souls lost their way in the night.

Sleep... softly beat me to sleep.
I'll dream... dream away this disease.

We'll rest uneasy at best.

What is sleep if it's not a cover up? A silencer on the harm, we cause and unlock deep in bottomless dark we hide, our broken bodies and minds, that are programmed to waste at first light.

Tryin' to make the best of our time, but I'm tripping up in this sleep paralysis life.
I'll clench my teeth and forgo the daily grind, with thoughts of infinite loss that trail me behind.

We waste at first light.
WE WASTE AT FIRST LIGHT.
