LISTEN to HOW CAN YOU SLEEP!

LYRICS

Pointing…skyward…azure blankets are…
torn wide…open…
bleeding black angry lines
Wake up…gaping..bad news carrying flies…
you there…sitting…
your un-eloquent lies

Do you order coffee with your breakfast
Do you live like it could be your last
Do you kiss your children send them packing
Do your people always kiss your ass
Do they treat you as if you’re Messiah
A messiah with no rules or blame
In your ivory tower waving worlds so far away
So far away

You believe, what you do
There’re holes that run right thru your truth
You believe in your mind
That you are always right

How can you sleep…How can you breathe
If I lived your life and you lived mine
Reason is much harder to disguise

Stabbing…eastward…amber blankets are…
folded…painted
A most beautiful sky
You there…standing…with your face of denial…
you there…watching…with an angry smile

Do you order coffee with your breakfast
Do you live like it could be your last
Do you kiss your children send them packing
Do your people always kiss your ass
Do they treat you as if you’re Messiah
A messiah with no rules or blame
What made you think that other world’s so far away
So far away

You believe, what you do
There’re holes that run right thru your truth
You believe in your mind
That you are always right

How can you sleep…How can you breathe
How can you love?

If I lived your life and you lived mine
Your purpose is much harder to define

STORY BEHIND THE SONG:

Some things I leave to you to explore...examine..find your way.
This is one...
