Ether Lyrics by Electric President

Sleep Well

2008

[Verse 1]
While you slept it off
Your empire was lost
Now we're not your sons
And your old silver tongue
It don't work too well now
We wandered off
With our heads nice and soft
But we were still numb
And we burned in the sun
And got torn to pieces
[Verse 2]
I rubbed the crust from off my eyes
And scratched my name into the sky
The things beneath my floorboards lie
I'll never let them out
And all my teeth are down at my feet
And all of the blood comes in a flood
Start counting sheep
Then I fall asleep again
And by myself I wander in
Through forests made of skeletons
Of people I once knew
And all their spines are perfectly aligned
Like cold power lines
Or a fork's silver tines
Now I'm out again
[Verse 3]
My feet left the ground
And I floated off and got lost
Now this ain't my home
There's no warmth in these bones
Just a mock-up
To help me pretend I'm sleeping
[Verse 4]
While we slept it off
All the money was lost
Now we can't stand up
Yeah, the lead in our guts
It just weighs us down now
We'll crawl along
Despite what goes wrong
'Cause we're not that young
Takes more than your guns
To scare us off now
[Bridge]
Paint your face in ether
Make the skies drip
Make our heads hit the ground
It all goes on forever
Makes no difference
Whether we're still around
[Verse 5]
My feet left the ground
And I floated off and got lost
Now my house is far below
It's buried in snow
And I can't see my footprints anymore; they're too small
I drift through the clouds with my heart in my mouth
I'm not stopping
Now the Earth is far behind
I'm lost in the sky with my eyes closed
I'm just waiting for my air to run out
