While you slept it off, your empire was lost Now we're not your sons, and your old silver tongue, It don't work too well now We wandered off with our heads nice and soft But we were still numb, and we burned in the sun, And got torn to pieces
I rub the crust from off my eyes, and scratch my name into the sky the things beneath my floorboards lie, I'll never let them out and all my teeth are down at my feet and all of the blood, it comes in a flood start counting sheep then I fall asleep again and find myself out wandering through forests made of skeletons of people I once knew and all their spines are perfectly aligned like old powerlines, or a fork's silver tines now I'm out again
My feet left the ground And I floated off, and got lost Now this ain't my home There's no warmth in these bones Just a mock up to help me pretend I'm sleeping
While we slept it off, all the money was lost Now we can't stand up, yeah, the lead in our guts, It just weighs us down now But we'll crawl along, despite what goes wrong 'Cause we're not that young. Takes more than your guns to scare us off now
Paint your face in ether. Make the skies drip. Make our heads hit the ground. It all goes on forever. Make no difference whether we're still around.
My feet left the ground And I floated off, and got lost Now my house is far below It's buried in snow And I can't see my footprints anymore; they're too small I drift through the clouds with my heart in my mouth I'm not stopping Now the Earth is far behind I'm lost in the sky with my eyes closed I'm just waiting for my air to run out
