7 Years Sleep Behind
For seven long and two score years
I lay awake from what I hear
But the compensation doesn't come near
I'm seven years sleep behind
My mental state has hit a wall
And the only borders I control
Are the ones I sleep through
Oh I'm falling
Seven years sleep behind
Seven years
Cruel daughter
Seven years
Cold as water
Running through the bricks and mortar
Keeping me together
Whether I'm in thrall to some charade
Or there's a clown behind it all
Or the whole damn day I sleep away
I'm seven years sleep behind
Yeah
Seven years
Cruel daughter
Seven years
Cold as water
Running through the bricks and mortar
Keeping me together
My neighbourhood's awash with sound
And kids and cars are buzzing round
My peace is nowhere to be found
Seven years sleep behind
Perhaps it's undeniable
That all this noise
The push and pull
Adds up to something mystical
Seven years sleep behind
Seven years
Cruel daughter
Seven years
Cold as water
Running through the bricks and mortar
Keeping me together
Somewhere in here there's a list
Of what I fear and who I've kissed
But the simple mathematics is
I'm seven years sleep behind
I lay awake from what I hear
But the compensation doesn't come near
I'm seven years sleep behind
My mental state has hit a wall
And the only borders I control
Are the ones I sleep through
Oh I'm falling
Seven years sleep behind
Seven years
Cruel daughter
Seven years
Cold as water
Running through the bricks and mortar
Keeping me together
Whether I'm in thrall to some charade
Or there's a clown behind it all
Or the whole damn day I sleep away
I'm seven years sleep behind
Yeah
Seven years
Cruel daughter
Seven years
Cold as water
Running through the bricks and mortar
Keeping me together
My neighbourhood's awash with sound
And kids and cars are buzzing round
My peace is nowhere to be found
Seven years sleep behind
Perhaps it's undeniable
That all this noise
The push and pull
Adds up to something mystical
Seven years sleep behind
Seven years
Cruel daughter
Seven years
Cold as water
Running through the bricks and mortar
Keeping me together
Somewhere in here there's a list
Of what I fear and who I've kissed
But the simple mathematics is
I'm seven years sleep behind
