You Call it "Sleep​?​"

about

Single from "The Fear"

lyrics

(Fire!)
Glaze on our eyes
Our senses die
Never know why

NARROW LIGHT!
DYING LIGHT!
NEVER RISE!
WIDE OPEN EYES!

But you'll never really know
Knowledge is only for the living
Imagination running wild
But the truth is imperceptible

Glaze on our eyes
Our senses die
Never know why

NARROW LIGHT!
DYING LIGHT!
NEVER RISE!
WIDE OPEN EYES!

NARROW LIGHT!
DYING LIGHT!
NEVER RISE!
WIDE OPEN EYES!

YOU CALL IT SLEEP?
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW!
YOU NEVER WILL!
UNTIL IT'S TIME!

Nihilisim, cynicism, sealing you from criticism
"We're all gonna die, that means nothing means anything"
Every hope and fear, every lendin' ear doesn't matter here
"Here is all we've got" You say

Doesn't mean that you're ready to die, you're not ready today
And that's all it takes to shake your faith
Why should you have a fucking say about the way the people pray
Keep the hope in their hearts so they can have some peace

When the inevitable starts
When the inevitable process starts
When the inevitable starts
When the inevitable process starts

NARROW LIGHT!
DYING LIGHT!
NEVER RISE!
WIDE OPEN EYES!
(When the inevitable process starts)

We'll just have to wait and see
but the odds are poor, I fear
We'll just have to wait and see
If flatlines are the last you'll hear

"We'll lie down in the warm green grass, and the sun will shine on your pale shape. Our blood will flow black in the dirt, and a black rose will grow where we laid." -Jarboe
