Sleep Instead of Teardrops (Live 2014)
Cry, cry out your eyes forever
It won't go away
I, I'm just a dumb observer
It's so stupid what I say
Like everyone else will do, I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
And so, nobody lives forever
The crassest of clichés
Like time, time is the greatest healer
But it's a murderer today
Like everyone else will do, I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
You know my holding you won't change, anything
I can't stop this whole charade, continuing
As each consoling kiss remains
On your face, like a stain
So cry, cry out those tears an let them
Succumb to gravity
And try, try as I might
I'll never fill that vacancy
Like everyone else will do, I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
Someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
It won't go away
I, I'm just a dumb observer
It's so stupid what I say
Like everyone else will do, I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
And so, nobody lives forever
The crassest of clichés
Like time, time is the greatest healer
But it's a murderer today
Like everyone else will do, I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
You know my holding you won't change, anything
I can't stop this whole charade, continuing
As each consoling kiss remains
On your face, like a stain
So cry, cry out those tears an let them
Succumb to gravity
And try, try as I might
I'll never fill that vacancy
Like everyone else will do, I'm gonna lie to you
Tell you that life is cruel
But someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
Someday you're gonna wake up
With sleep instead of teardrops in your eyes
