Dark Lyrics by Sleep For Sleepers

Conditions

2011

[Verse 1]
Dark souls in the middle of night
The morning comes, but somehow they stay out of sight
We're running, we're chasing, we're hoping for you
Deep graves next to our bedsides
Underneath the floorboards in a another life
The things that we've hid, they were meant to be found
In the back of a closet in the quietest town
And you were hoping we wouldn't know
[Chorus]
I cannot exist in a world if you don't
I can't have a place in a world if you don't
The bodies in the bag are twice the men we will be
If we're building our homes in the shallowest seas
If the words on our tongues are not careful when preached
No our sins ain't sweet, no our sins ain't sweet
[Verse 2]
There must be a better way, I know
Looking for a better way, I know
When will this be over? I'm tired of running for cover
There must be a better way, I know
Looking for a better way, I know
If we shed our sins tonight like our clothes
Can we wake without the want of having them back?
[Chorus]
I cannot exist in a world if you don't
I can't have a place in a world if you don't
The bodies in the bag are twice the men we will be
If we're building our homes in the shallowest seas
If the words on our tongues are not careful when preached
No our sins ain't sweet, no our sins ain't sweet
[Breakdown]
We've done such horrible things, the dirty truth at our side
Yeah, we can make you believe, keep you awake every night
But we've got holes in our hearts, yeah, we've go nothing inside
We're jealous you have a chance, the chance we wasted in life
But now we dwell in a pit, burning for years at a time
We wish we could have your thoughts, we wish we could be alive
The dead among, all around, sinking and far underneath
Now at the sight of that crown, hands high, praise to the King
[Chorus]
I cannot exist in a world if you don't
I can't have a place in a world if you don't
The bodies in the bag are twice the men we will be
If we're building our homes in the shallowest seas
If the words on our tongues are not careful when preached
No our sins ain't sweet, no our sins ain't sweet
