Corrosion of Conformity

Corrosion of Conformity (also known as C.O.C.) is an American metal band from Raleigh, North Carolina formed in 1982. For almost the majority of its existence, the band has consisted of guitarist Woody Weatherman, bassist Mike Dean (who left in 1987 but rejoined six years later), drummer Reed Mullin (who left in 2001 but rejoined nine years later) and vocalist and rhythm guitarist Pepper Keenan (who joined the band in 1989). After a hiatus in 2006, Corrosion of Conformity returned in 2010, without Keenan who is currently in Down (although it has been disputed whether Keenan has left the band). more »

There's a boy they call the sleepin' man, he's been asleep for days
There's a girl lyin' next to him, following his ways

Dreaming of a foreign place, where the people always pray
Nowhere else to run to...now
So this is where they stay

That's all she wanted to hear
That's all she wanted to hear
Sleep another year. 

I will in time forget the order, wake up the sleepin' martyr
Somethin' don't seem right in you

A broken will to testify, a thorn on either side
Empty bottles lyin' next to him, keeps him satisfied

Voices on that dead end street, make you feel so fine
Wake up son it's time to go, you're runnin' out of time 

And that's all he wanted to hear
That's all he wanted to hear
Sleep another year 

I will in time forget the order, wake up the sleepin' martyr
Somethin' don't seem right in you

He dreamed until his heart was still or so the story goes 
Can't remember how he got that way cause he's forgot more than he knows 

Drift into a foreign place, seems like yesterday..
Nowhere else to run to now, alone he starts to pray

And that's all she wanted to hear
That's all she wanted to hear
Sleep another year 

I will in time forget the order, wake up the sleepin' martyr

Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight
Cause it's gonna' be a long night, anytime, everytime 
Anytime in you
