Lion Skin

I wonder, can you daydream at night?

Lying awake, I have too much time

I'm watching picture shows in the shadows

Dance for the crowd tonight

Imagination such a vivid place to hide

While stars watch over you

Through silent homes

The lights are out but I walk these halls

The way I've walked before

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls

The lights are out but I walk these halls

I promised not to wake you

So I walk a line just so you can hear

The rats in the roof

And termites in the ceiling

And we'll hear everything except what we need to hear

Sleeplessness is for the restless

And I'm just fine

Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness

There's spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes

Let them weave their little webs

To snatch the sunlight from the lens

I'm staring at the ceiling 'cause I'm fed up with the sight

Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads

While stars watch over you

Through silent homes

The lights are out but I walk these halls

The way I've walked before

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls

The lights are out but I walk these halls

Cast the sheep out of your mind

Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight

I stumble in and I stumble out

Of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses

But I'm at home

Yeah, the ghost has left behind his sheets

We're unrequited until

Until I wake up somewhere

Until I wake up somewhere I know I've never been

I'll stay till sleep takes over you

And I'll walk while stars watch over you

Through silent homes

The lights are out but I walk these halls

The way I've walked before

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls

The lights are out but I walk these halls

The way I've walked before

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls

The lights are out but I walk these halls

Cast the sheep out of your mind

Count the wolves and we'll sleep tonight
