Sleeper Lyrics by Sevendust

Retrospective, Vol. 2

2007

[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon]
I'm ashamed of me
I look at what you've done for me
I didn't listen to what I heard
The voices swirling around me unscrewing me
You know I let you down
And now, I'm on my own
And now I have no one left to help me and keep me hangin' on
Hangin' on

[Chorus 1: Lajon Witherspoon & John Connolly]
Withering away all the time just waiting
For a sign to convince me I ever had a life
Sat on the corner of the steps for too long, I realized
That I let my life pass before my eyes

[Verse 1: Lajon Witherspoon]
I'll never let you know
You ever let me go
I'm left to fend for myself and keep my mind straight
So I can move on
I know you let me down
Im used to struggling
You should know that you'll always have me, you'll never be alone
You're not alone

[Pre-Chorus: John Connolly & Morgan Rose]
Why can't you listen to me?
You wonder why I'm...

[Chorus 2: Lajon Witherspoon & John Connolly]
Withering away all the time just waiting
For a sign to convince me I ever had a life
Sat on the corner of the steps for too long, I realized
That I let my life pass before my eyes
Sitting here lookin at the time just waiting
For a sign to convince me you ever had a life
Sat on the corner of the steps for too long, you realized
That you let your life pass before your eyes

[Bridge: Lajon Witherspoon]
Hanging on
Give me an answer
It's been so long
Now that we're alone
Convince me otherwise
That we ever had a life
So I can believe
That time is on our side
Now we're...

[Chrous 3: Lajon Witherspoon & John Connolly]
Tired of lookin at the time, just waiting
For a sign to convince us we never had a life
Sat on the corner of the steps for too long, we realized
That we let our lives pass before our eyes
Withering away all the time just waiting
Now, we're tired of running in a world just waiting
Sat on the corner of the steps too long, too long
And we let our lives pass before our eyes

[Outro: Morgan Rose]
Sleeper
Sleeper
Hang on
Reach out for me, it's not too late!
