7 Years Sleep Behind
7 years sleep behind
For seven long and two score years I lay awake from what I hear
But the compensation doesn't come near I'm seven years sleep behind
My mental state has hit a wall And the only borders I control
Are the ones I sleep through, oh I'm falling Seven years sleep behind
Seven years, cruel daughter Seven Years, cold as water
Running through the bricks and mortar Keeping me together
Whether I'm in thrall to some charade Or there's a clown behind it all
Or the whole damn day I sleep away I'm seven years sleep behind
My neighbourhood's awash with sound And kids and cars are buzzing round My peace is nowhere to be found Seven years sleep behind
Perhaps it's undeniable
That all this noise, the push and pull Adds up to something mystical
Like seven years sleep behind
Seven years, cruel daughter Seven Years, cold as water
Running through the bricks and mortar Keeping me together
Somewhere in here there's a list Of what I fear and who I've kissed But the simple mathematics is
I'm seven years sleep behind
Seven years, cruel daughter Seven Years, cold as water
Running through the bricks and mortar Keeping me together
