Sound of Sleep Lyrics by Otis Mensah

WINTERSKIN

2023

[VERSE]
Yeah
Soft side of the knife
Hell shaped like a home
All hands in night
All crammed on the line
Holes gouged from the back
No trust in our eyes
All kinds of devices
All kinds of disguises
Some kind of advice
Some kind of a crisis
All suffering and frightened
I’m all thumbs in your likeness
More sculptured by time
Call me up for a fight
It’s all vultures and blindness
Empty room talking like a tulpa
Tall gulp of the flies
All clustered inside us
[Chorus]
And prone to go unnoticed
In clumps of skin
Uncuff my wrists
Undress
With no new ways of coping
I hung my limbs
On gusts of wind
Digress
[VERSE]
Yeah carry the carcass
I’d be a martyr
But always just running for cover in comfort
From the things that I harbour
All of the things I’ve embarked on
All of my life I’ve been bloating
Could probably spit out an ocean
Could probably paint you some darkness
You know trapping the sadness
Probably something cathartic
Hand on my gauntlet
Blood on my garments
Lonely life as an artist
But I don’t mean to pathologize
More like lonely just me
Living this life as a secret
This the sound of my sleep
[Chorus]
And prone to go unnoticed
In clumps of skin
Uncuff my wrists
Undress
With no new ways of coping
I hung my limbs
On gusts of wind
Digress
And slowly bursting open
I’ve come undone
The only one
Who’s left
Afloat still clutching shrapnel
And my frozen lake
This old mistake
My mess
