Sleep

SLEEP by DRAE Written by Andre Thibault (Verse 1) We're sleepwalking through the killing floor Now can you tell me what you're living for? No? Oh, you don't like me? Have I struck a chord? Well if you think I'm in my feelings you've been ill informed See I'm that wildfire that you can't ignore Now get up, sound the alarm, I'm wide awake and bored Look, it's getting harder just to stay the course It's always those who've got the most who tell me less is more Welcome to generation woe-is-me Where people change and nothing's ever as it's supposed to be Cell phones with broken screens resemble hopes and dreams Or so it seems this is social revelation poetry We contradict Holy philosophy Beg for forgiveness as we're running from this self-fulfilling prophecy But even still there's no apologies, I'm dying cross-less Live agnostic but demand that God acknowledge me (Chorus) Can I get some sleep tonight I need some peace Lord I've been so tired for so long Sleep is the cousin of death (x2) (Verse 2) Now what's the real objective? What's the message that we're spreading as we permeate this culture of oppression? We're so blinded by our self-obsession Priority becomes acceptance and we shy away from genuine affection Look, every breath and every word we speak's a deadly weapon Truth is treason, honesty carries a heavy sentence People take offense to good intentions, play pretend and stay pretentious It's all around you if you pay attention (Chorus) Can I get some sleep tonight I need some peace Lord I've been so tired for so long Sleep is the cousin of death (x2) (Solo) (BridgeChorus) Can I get some sleep tonight I need some peace Lord I've been so tired for so long Sleep is the cousin of death (x4)
