Books You Never Read Lyrics by Erik Bleich

More Than Anything You’ve Feared - EP

2022

[Verse 1]
She'll be sleeping in the other room
If she can leave behind her sense of doom
And the planes are flying overhead
Reminding you of all the books you never read
And the bamboo's sprouting like a rocket ship
She couldn't find sleep so she bites on your lip
And the sweat rolls down between your chests
And the dangling conversation that was never laid to rest
[Refrain]
And the doctor's asking you
Have you ever thought about it?
Would you ever follow through?
[Verse 2]
The sculpture that was never fired
You could sleep for days, you feel so tired
And think on all the photographs
How far back did they stop collecting laughs?
Open wide, let's take a look
Scrape off the plaque and sacrifice the rook
The pawns in forward toward their death
But don't you get too close with your dark-roast coffee-breath
[Refrain]
And the doctor's asking you
Have you ever thought about it?
Would you ever follow through?
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 3]
They came and went and they took your steed
The jokes on them, they could have had it for free
That horse was dying anyway
So go what come and come what may
The money tree died, but it's coming back
You could have been the same, but you show through the cracks
If you ever come around to find
There's always fools with gold that you can mine
[Refrain]
And the doctor's asking you
Have you ever thought about it?
Would you ever follow through?
[Verse 4]
The sun is rising over the shore
It hasn't lit yet what you've got in store
It's not too late to find the path
Nothing can be worst than your mind's own wrath
[Outro]
You'd be sleeping in the other room
If you could leave behind your sense of doom
