lyrics

Sleepin', under the window sill
Until it shatters
By the pulsing wind, trying to hold still
On a different pattern

You wake up wise, ready for your flight
But the pilot's indifferent, he doesn't know your plight

(Ch)
But the people have spoken, it's just a token, of passerby's regards
There's nothing worth noting, the poacher's been gloating, of tusks worn down to shards
You can't expect service from an old man who's nervous of stepping too far outside
Indecisive prowess, precise but spouseless, it's time to make up your mind

(2x)
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why you had to be left out

Thoughts that plan, written in a haze
First thing in the morning
Reckless words, delivered with a gaze
Dim lights adorning

Recycled favors drift into your sight
I guess we'll stay here, at least just for the night

(Ch)

(2x)
And I can't seem to find the steam to post past posture finally
'Til someone shouted purposely in languages I could not read
But recognized his land-scarred face from edges seen but never traced
On parchment paper laid to waste for nothing less than one more taste

Sleepin', I'm not dreamin'
But I'm steeped in
Exactly what I'm feelin' right now
