sleepless ep lyrics
1. mystical motion
Does popping pills make you feel like
a man?
Killing your brain the best that you can
As your eyes close you think you see god
When the vision fades you’re lost in the fog
Your mind fills with mystical motion
You gotta get some more of that potion
You don’t know when you start to scream
And you can’t escape this dream because
You’re burning
Your life is burning away
Even though you feel cold
You’re burning away
Does it hurt your nose inhaling that
sand
Doesn’t even look like you can stand
No one hears as you start to moan
Gotta get some more of that stone
Your life fills with mystical motion
Gotta get some more of that potion
You don’t know what you feel
You don’t know what is real because
You’re burning
Your life is burning away
Even though you feel cold
You’re burning away
2. Casualty
The road is long and starts to wear
you down
Aching inside but no one hears a sound
Temptation lies with every blink of an eye
While in your soul you begin to cry
I lie awake at night thinking how
its gonna end
Will it be a long time from now or is it just around the bend?
Death from a life of excess? Maybe even suicide
Who knows what the future holds, I’m gonna sit back and enjoy the ride
Will I live to see thirty?
Will anyone remember me?
Could I be a legend?
Or just another casualty?
I’ve become so very tired
When all I wanted was to be admired
Morrison told me to live like a shooting star
So I’m gonna fly away so high and so far
Will I live to see thirty?
Will anyone remember me?
Could I be a legend?
Or just another casualty?
I will live to see thirty
They will remember me
I will be a legend
Not just another casualty
3. as i wander
I’ve been searching for so long
now
Forgot what I’m searching for
Been walking around all night
But I don’t know where to go
I’m naked and jaded all by myself
I stare at my six-string that sits on my shelf
I call out your name but you don’t hear me
No you don’t hear me
Time slips away
But we are so young
Who knows what could have been
But now you’re lost to me
Rain pounds on the pavement
As I continue to wander the streets
To clear my head
Of all the things I should have said
Naked and jaded all by myself
I grab my guitar that sits on my shelf
I call out your name but you don’t hear me
Why don’t you hear me?
Time slips away
But we are so young
Who knows what could have been
But now you’re lost to me
You’re lost to me
4. Sleepless
Sticks and stones won’t break
my bones
But lies do it would seem
I’m just a prisoner in your forgotten dream
Paper houses one day fall
Tumble to the ground
Just like you and I my child
Fell down without a sound
Without a sound
How do you stop these voices banging
through my head?
They tell me that you’re right and I’m wrong for what I said
Stop these voices cuttin’ right throught the night
Leave me laying sleepless praying for the light
Lines are crossed when a fading smile
explodes like the sun
I don’t know where I am , I’ve lost everyone
Your sticks and stones they broke my bones
Left me on my knees with the fading smile you get when somebody leaves
Leaves you down on the ground
Without a sound
How do you stop these voices banging
through my head?
They tell me that you’re right and I’m wrong for what I said
Stop these voices cuttin’ right through the night
Leave me laying sleepless praying for the light
