Sleepwalker
Her name is horror, model, lifeless, hallowed
And what she's doing, while no one's looking
It's not just wrong, it's murder
To everything I know is right
I have to find it in myself
To let her go
But by the sounds of their disarray
She's found her way to the hearts
Of the good ones, left them blinded
And trying on the floor, she's only started
Her sad triumphant march and in the wake
We are aching, wanting more
Inside of these dreams you'll never wake from
We're fading away, you're coming undone
Lay yourself down, I'll never let you wake uu
Her ship will not be coming
For the plans have gone all wrong
What once held this body whole
Has been stripped to the bone
When you get what you want
Show her the door
Don't let her stay
Don't let her keep walking
With her heart in my hand
I feel no remorse
She was dead to begin with
When you get what you want
Show her the door
Inside of these dreams you'll never wake from
We're fading away, you're coming undone
Lay yourself down, I'll never let you wake up
I've been asleep while walking
And it's gone on far too long
This is my return to living
And I'll keep what makes me strong
If i could find it in myself
To put her down, out of her goddamn misery
When you get what you want
Show her the door
Don't let her stay
Don't let her keep walking
With her heart in my hand
I feel no remorse
She was dead to begin
When you get what you want
Show her the door
And what she's doing, while no one's looking
It's not just wrong, it's murder
To everything I know is right
I have to find it in myself
To let her go
But by the sounds of their disarray
She's found her way to the hearts
Of the good ones, left them blinded
And trying on the floor, she's only started
Her sad triumphant march and in the wake
We are aching, wanting more
Inside of these dreams you'll never wake from
We're fading away, you're coming undone
Lay yourself down, I'll never let you wake uu
Her ship will not be coming
For the plans have gone all wrong
What once held this body whole
Has been stripped to the bone
When you get what you want
Show her the door
Don't let her stay
Don't let her keep walking
With her heart in my hand
I feel no remorse
She was dead to begin with
When you get what you want
Show her the door
Inside of these dreams you'll never wake from
We're fading away, you're coming undone
Lay yourself down, I'll never let you wake up
I've been asleep while walking
And it's gone on far too long
This is my return to living
And I'll keep what makes me strong
If i could find it in myself
To put her down, out of her goddamn misery
When you get what you want
Show her the door
Don't let her stay
Don't let her keep walking
With her heart in my hand
I feel no remorse
She was dead to begin
When you get what you want
Show her the door
