Lyrics Sleep Evil Sleep - Steam Powered Giraffe

Sleep Evil Sleep

Catch me, I’m falling
Down the Rabbit Hole
Things get quite mad
When you’ve got no soul
Help me, I’m spinning
I’m out of control
Wish I could find something
To make me whole
I can see the metal strike the pedal, sends me firin' away
I can see the cards with their pitchforks and their torches lit from my own
flame
But as far as I run, and as hard as I try, I can never seem to make it out
I’m flying off the edge of a cliff into a hurricane
Save me, love
Keep your vow
Put a heart
In this tin girl now
Sleep evil, sleep
It’s the truth that I dread
Tomorrow we’ll be back to
Tearing wires from our head
There’s no one left to blame
Just the things that I have said
So sleep evil, sleep
Tonight you are dead
Oh it’s such a marvelous thing
To beat the sirens to scene
I confess it was me
I thought it was the end of days
Oh you never know
Where I’m gonna go
Any moment now I’ll become an explosive tidal wave
Save me, love
Though I don’t know how
Fix the brain
Of this straw girl now
Sleep evil, sleep
You’ve torn me to shreds
I’ve spent the entire day
Putting out fires in my head
I squeeze myself real tight
As my mind hangs by a thread
Please sleep evil, sleep
Tonight you are dead
Never living, never aging
Never growing, never dying
Never learning, it’s concerning
Disconcerting.
I will never be free
I want the world to know
That I am in control
As they look upon my broken soul
They’ll say «she was her own worst foe»
Save me, love
Keep your vow
Find some nerve
For this coward now
Sleep evil, sleep
It’s all just in my head
Come the morning sun
I’ll fight the same demons yet again
You can weld me to my knees
But I won’t pray for mercy, no
Sleep evil, sleep
Tonight you are dead
