Bright Mouths Lyrics by Electric President

Sleep Well

2008

[Intro]
I see you in my head at night
Your eyes are vacant and your mouth is bright
And all you say are things I don't want to hear
So I smash my hands against my broken ears
[Chorus]
We are the thoughts that you were warned about
We are the shadows in your basement
When you say doomsday we say everything's alright
But it's all the same
[Verse 1]
Get yourself a number
Oh we've been watching you sleep
We know your tricks
We know all your bad habits
We know your secrets
We know where you're lost
We sneak into your closet and have dinner with the skeletons
All along you've been asking what's wrong with me
All along you've been asking what's wrong with me
All along you've been living your predicament
Saying you were innocent but what's that got to do with us?
[Chorus]
We are the cracks in all you dream about
We are the noises in your attic
We are the people you were warned about
We are the monsters in your closet
[Bridge]
Now despite your hopes you're just like us
Yeah, you're just like us
Despite your prayers you're broke like us
Yeah, you're broke like us
[Outro]
They watch you when you're asleep
They hear as you grind your teeth
They're always wearing smiles but they're never what they seem
You can run when you're awake but they still kill ya when you dream
