Sleep Well Beast lyrics

[Verse 1]

We've been stuck out here in the hallway for way way too long

I'm at a loss, I'm at a loss, I'm losing grip, the fabric's ripped

Go back to sleep, let me drive, let me think, let me figure it out

How to get us back to the place where we were when we first went out

[Chorus]

I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left

I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left

[Verse 2]

Losing parents, losing sense

I don't know what we should do

Became a father when I was still a son, she brings it out in you

See you at the end of the party with your wild white eyes

Filling up the teacup with gin in your secret postcard life

[Chorus]

I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left

I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left

I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left

I'll tell you about it some time, the time we left

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

We leave our saviors wrapped around the necks of new machines

Or at the ends of threads that hold their bodies to the ground

And then the men who look a little like they feel like me

Offered them some bottled water, then they cut them down

I came back to see if you were here, but everything was different

Your voice was low, you blended in, I could barely hear you speak

You were always my last second bright spot in the distance

Thought that you were something good

That I would always keep

I'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast

I'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast

I'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast

I'll still destroy you someday, sleep well, beast; you as well, beast
