lyrics

Die Alone Trying

Cannon Fodder would be proud
But the Sergeant again is slightly weeping
Not alone says he
But spinning the fragments of his mind

Say i don’t know I don’t know
I’m struggling to see it
Sleepy head sleepy head
Down memories and things are all the same
Words alone an empty book enable
The person who reads it

Last night it began in all our heads
Infinite times in a dream
But we can’t see at all
A memory upon memory
A distant solum scene
An interesting part of what it is to be me

TRYING TO SLEEP
TRYING TO SLEEP

An escape artist a clown
This fictional part of a non believer
Do you believe in good and bad
Holding his heartbeat in his mine

Say i don’t know I don’t know
I’m struggling to see it
Sleepy head sleepy head
Down memories and things are all the same
Words alone an empty book enable
The person to reads it

Last night it began in all our heads
Infinite times in a dream
But we can’t see at all
A memory upon memory
A distant solum scene
An interesting part of what it is to be me
All alone for an hour or was it THREE

TRYING TO SLEEP
TRYING TO SLEEP

This book is now set
Walking through chapter upon chapter
Its the characters from good and bad
The strange unto the sad
The clowns which i’m glad
A sergeant slightly weeping
Its a heartbeat across the land
A shadow upon my hand
All dancing through the fragments of there mind

Say not today not today
Were struggling to see it
Sleepy head sleepy head
Down memories and things are all the same
Words alone an empty book enable
The person who reads it

Last night it began in all our heads
Infinite times before
But we can’t see at all
A memory upon memory
A distant solum scene
An interesting part of what it is to be me
All alone for an hour or was it THREE

TRYING TO SLEEP
