Sleeping Dogs
You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality
The lines upon your face, tell me a story
A story of disgrace
The lines that you chase
If you could only see, the possibilities
What you thought was freedom
Were lies to conceal
Once I was blown away by your hurricane
Now I just see clouds and rain, ah such a waste
Now everything you do
Let's sleeping dogs stay lying
Everything you say
Sleeping dogs are here to stay
They've got you right where they want you
You came with everything, you'll leave with nothing
They hit you square between the eyes
You could've been anyone, but now you're nowhere
Once I was blown away by your hurricane
Now I just see clouds and rain, oh such a shame
Now everything you do
Is what sleeping dogs want you to
Everything you say
Sleeping dogs will have their day
They've got you right, where they want you
You came with everything, and leave with nothing
They hit you right between the eyes
You could've been anyone, but now you're nowhere
You can run from the truth, the truth won't run from you
Chase the pain, it just comes round again
You can run from the truth, the truth won't run from you
Chase the pain, it just comes round again
Now everything you do
Is what sleeping dogs want you to
They've got you right, where they want you
Sleeping dogs will have their day
Sleeping dogs are here to stay
The lines upon your face, tell me a story
A story of disgrace
The lines that you chase
If you could only see, the possibilities
What you thought was freedom
Were lies to conceal
Once I was blown away by your hurricane
Now I just see clouds and rain, ah such a waste
Now everything you do
Let's sleeping dogs stay lying
Everything you say
Sleeping dogs are here to stay
They've got you right where they want you
You came with everything, you'll leave with nothing
They hit you square between the eyes
You could've been anyone, but now you're nowhere
Once I was blown away by your hurricane
Now I just see clouds and rain, oh such a shame
Now everything you do
Is what sleeping dogs want you to
Everything you say
Sleeping dogs will have their day
They've got you right, where they want you
You came with everything, and leave with nothing
They hit you right between the eyes
You could've been anyone, but now you're nowhere
You can run from the truth, the truth won't run from you
Chase the pain, it just comes round again
You can run from the truth, the truth won't run from you
Chase the pain, it just comes round again
Now everything you do
Is what sleeping dogs want you to
They've got you right, where they want you
Sleeping dogs will have their day
Sleeping dogs are here to stay
