Sleep by Anchor and Braille

Gonna know now this song's about you
I wrote these words with you in mind
Anne baby, don't you think you deserve
A little more cause you've been used up
And thrown around like worthless hope
All in all in all again
You've got more damned sinners
Than saints as friends
Your halo's slid and it's choking you

We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight

Four AM, there's someone on your shoulder
They call when it's suddenly cold
You're like an autumn's leaf in winter's wind
Blown away by the sudden lack of friends
When you need someone close
Don't feed me lines of good intentions
I'm the greatest of the least of these

We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight

We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight

We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here all night
We'll sleep, we'll sleep, we'll sleep
When we die
So just lie awake with me here tonight


As execrable as some of the lyrics are, this song is just so beautiful and the lyrics have been written so astringently yet so calming. Almost tongue-in-cheek. This song is definitely a comforting dedication, letting someone know that someone understands their crisis, even if that person doesn't know they are facing that crisis at the time. This song is written with love.
