lyrics

I’ve been looking for a place to sleep
a place to lie down my tired head
I’d like to use your chest
but i’ll settle for these feathers instead
my eyes need to fall
They need to land on the shore
these waves won’t push me far
they won’t push me from your door
I’ve warmed cold floors
bare bones dust and smoke
It’s amazing all the ways in we cope
So tired so vacant
there’s a list long and wild
I’ve been afraid to say it
so I’ll carry silence with a smile

I’ve been craving a place to rest
a place with locks and forced hot air
I’d like to use to your chest
but I’m convinced that’s not fair
I’ll spare you the story
of how I’ll see the light at forty
how I’ll be better shortly
how I’ll be better at seeing glory
That’s not us now that’s them then
in brick house of sin mastering zen
The future is wide awake with sharp teeth
The past is fading flocks of sick sheep
And my present is quietly pleading for sleep

These are my choices
wrapped in truths older than my clothes
Packed in a suitcase with stickers and holes
buried in a sleeping bag under flowers and failed goals
with my greatest visions lost because
the film was overexposed
I’ve been circling
trying to find a spot to land
I’d spend a night at your feet
but I’d love to fall into your hands
I’ve been looking..looking for a place to rest
Please let me settle down here
I know you’re clean and I’m a mess
I need a place to breath free the trouble from my lungs
Sing me to sleep sweet bird I’ll be gone when morning comes
