SLEEPER

Official Lyrics

 

Under the blacklight, fighting the fall out

I guess it figures

I'm just the same as all that I was when I didn't know

​

Holding a hand out, for something to reach now

I know it's bigger

Than all of the places I wish that I could go

​

But it hurts, I'm ready

It calls, I'm ready

I'm ready to know

What's through the darkness

Bury the witness

When she's cold

​

If it hurts, I'm ready

It calls, I'm ready

I'm ready to show

One more rotation

Strange, the sensation

When it goes

​

Under the blacklight, forcing a feeling

Begging forgiveness

I feel so far from the place I ought to be

​

Holding a hand out, for something to reach now

Just to get bitten

In the violet light I saw you sharpening your teeth

​

But it hurts, I'm ready

It calls, I'm ready

I'm ready to know

What's through the darkness

Bury the witness

When she's cold

​

If it hurts, I'm ready

It calls, I'm ready

I'm ready to show

One more rotation

Strange, the sensation

When it goes

​

So speak through me

I want to know what it's like when it's real

If I'm called to be the blood in the water

You'll reach for me

Outstretched only to keep pushing me under

Cut me wide

Never as I seem

​

If you look inside

Would you see what I see?

If you cut me wide

Never as I seem
