There's no sleep inside Their dreams are broke and inspired All the times you try to Scream Houses dark indoors And blinds are pulled and closed Everything that needed Change And there`s nothing wise Or twice as good as nice You save it all inside while you Hang your head Hang your head Underneath it all Your smile your smile your smile is flawed And the songs you sing are only Spoken The promise of this child You crossed your palms with silver crowns and the People swore he's only Choking There's no promises No light is ever shed Between the living and dead Hang your head Hang your head There`s no promises No light is ever shed Between the living and dead
