LYRICS THAT SPEAK TO ME




SLEEPING AT LAST, "Turning Page"
I surrender who I’ve been for who you are

For nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart
If I had only felt how it feels to be yours

Well I would have known

What I’ve been living for all along
What I’ve been living for



SLEEPING AT LAST, "Porcelain"
...when I fell to my knees

to sew the damage shut,
I couldn't believe...
a bright, staggering light
came flooding into me
from out of the seams.

so I reached deeper in
and pulled my whole world wide open,
and for each broken mile, a billion
miracles happen at once
in everything... in everything.



SLEEPING AT LAST, "Careful Hands"
Put your coat on, this city trembles.
Keep your chin up, as you untangle God
From cold blood and bruises.

We are X-rays of something broken.
Cursive bloodlines write every forecast
An orchestration Of dissonance and innocent surrender.

When our color dies,
We will bury the ashes of time,
And we will earn new eyes.




SLEEPING AT LAST, "Birdcage Religion"

but time is spinning silk 
that coils ruthlessly; 
with the devil's patience, 
it binds my hands so quietly 
that soon it becomes a part of me. 

so soften these edges and straighten out my tie. 
and help me remember 
the hope that I have compromised.
