The Sleeping Sickness

City and Colour · Bring Me Your Love [2008]

I Awoke

Only to find my lungs empty

And through the night, so it seems I'm not breathing

And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be

And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down



And I'm afraid to sleep because of what haunts me

Such as living with the uncertainty

That I'll never find the words to say

Which would completely explain

Just how I'm breaking down



Someone come and, someone come and

Save my life

Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead but now it's like the night is taking sides

All the worries that occupy the back of my mind

Could it be? This misery will suffice



I've become

A simple souvenir of someone's kill

Like the sea, I'm constantly changing from calm to hell

Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole

Oh, how I'm breaking down



Someone come and, someone come and

Save my life

Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead but now it's like the night is taking sides

All the worries that occupy the back of my mind

Could it be? This misery will suffice



Someone come and, someone come and

Save my life (x3)

Could it be? This misery will suffice
