How To Sleep

It's been 1,387 days
Since these hands gave birth to raging flames
I don't recall the last time I struck another's face
Though I reckon it's been about 1,387 days

Oh I learned about a pause
And I learned how to breathe
To keep a list for all my joys
In case I learn
How to sleep

She said, "I don't get the impression you think much of me"
I said, "I don't get the impression that you think much"
There weren't no prayers til she was six feet under me
It was the first time I choked on the smell of blood

Oh I learned about a pause
And I learned how to breathe
To keep a list for all my joys
In case I learn
How to sleep

Now the steel in my brain ain't so reflected on my tongue
Cause the damage from a knife is more commitment than a gun
From behind these lips I'm still the monster that I was
Oh and sucking all that venom down don't change the things I done

Oh I learned about a pause
And I learned how to breathe
To keep a list for all my joys
In case I learn
How to sleep
