Let Me Sleep Lyrics

Oh, my love, it won't let me sleep

It pulls the blankets right off of my feet

It tears the very fabric of my dream



And my heart, won't let me leave

It's pealing itself off my sleeve

It's feeding me false memories



We turn dust into diamonds and words into birds

That promise me passage all over the world

The truth is we never get past the front door

I settle my debt, but I always want more, more, more



More, more, more

More, more, more



Out here

Is the last place I wanted to be

A foot soldier in your standing army

With my best years somewhere far behind me



Now here

Lies a golden opportunity

While you're sifting through all the debris

I can go some fine place where you'll never find me

You're miles behind me

You'll never find me now

All this love will end as cold

You get the vials with things we don't know

But we'll feel it deep down in our soul



And know only time can tell

If I go in your prison cell

Is this the road to heaven or will we burn in hell?



Your youth springs eternal, you never grow old

Your truth looks perverted, encrusted in gold

I have forgotten what I came here for

My cup runneth over but I still want more



More, more, more

More, more, more



Out here

Is the last place I wanted to be

A foot soldier in your standing army

With my best years somewhere far behind me



Now here

Is a golden opportunity

While you're sifting through all the debris

I will go some fine place where you'll never find me

You're miles behind me

You'll never find me now

Oh, my love, set me free

Forget me

Let me sleep



Oh, my love, set me free

Forget me

Let me sleep
