This Is How You Sleep
Lyrics by Marlon Chaplin
Wanted to never ever let you go,
But you know sometimes you just never know,
I know you just want to get back at me,
Pull the rug out from underneath my feet,
This place we live is suffocating me,
It’s hard to make out what’s reality,
How much power do you really need?
Is this the priceless end of ecstasy?
You and I conspire to make this vision ours,
A truth,
A lie,
I wanna let go,
Right from the get-go,
Let go your secrets,
This is how you sleep,
I wanna let go,
Right from the get-go,
This is my dream tape,
This is how you sleep,
I need to find some shade under a tree,
You see this sword it hangs like Damocles,
Feel you watching with every move I make,
Whatever’s mine is always yours to take,
I don’t expect to get away with this,
So go ahead and check me off your list,
I hear a ticking underneath the floor,
This tell-tale heart will beat on nevermore,
You and I conspire to make this vision ours,
A truth,
A lie,
You and I conspire to make this prison ours,
A truth,
A lie,
I wanna let go,
Right from the get-go,
Let go your secrets,
This is how you sleep,
I wanna let go,
Right from the get-go,
This is my dream tape,
This is how you sleep.
