lyrics

You had that death rattle
Old man I still hear it
There’s nothing left in you
But goddamn I still fear it

In time we’ll learn to face reality
Till then just fill your skull with doublespeak
Your eyes see that which you choose to see
Metronomically we watch the sickle swing
(I can’t fucking look at you, shedding my skin
I can’t fucking look at you, shedding my skin)
Sleep walk, sleepwalker
Oh clock, sundial shadow
Sleep walk, sleepwalker
Oh clock, sundial shadow

You had that death rattle
Old man I still hear it
There’s nothing left in you
But goddamn I still fear it

My heart unravelled at your feet
I stumbled, tried to gather it up, shamefully
To your credit you acted like you didn’t see
But every gaze from then just proved that yes you did
My heart unravelled at your feet
I stumbled, tried to gather it up, shamefully
To your credit you acted like you didn’t see
But every gaze from then just proved you did, you did
(From birth an atlas burden is placed upon a man it makes him understand perspective’s out and in, if everything I see is known only to me, how then can I glean what’s real and what’s a dream)

(I can’t fucking look at you, shedding my skin
I can’t fucking look at you, shedding my skin)
Sleep walk, sleepwalker
Oh clock, sundial shadow
Sleep walk, sleepwalker
Oh clock, sundial shadow

You had that death rattle
Old man I still hear it
There’s nothing left in you
But goddamn I still fear it

High and dry
If you could see me now
My oh my
Would you believe your eyes


If you could see me now
If you could feel me now
If you could touch me now
If you could hear the sound would you quake

You had that death rattle
Old man I still hear it
There’s nothing left in you
But goddamn I still fear it
