Counting Each Step and the Space Between - 8STOPS7

He walks in his sleep

Counting each step and the space between

For a moment’s peace

His mind starts to drift

He remembers how much he hungers this

Oh, hungers this

He tries not to shake

His dust to the ground

With each time he fails

He sinks further down

He’s losing his faith

He used to be proud

Used to be more

He walks in his sleep

With an echo of ghost friendly whispers breathe

Oh just breathe

His mind starts to drift

He remembers how much he hungers this

Hungers this

He tries not to shake

His dust to the ground

But each time he fails

He sinks farther down

He’s losing his faith

He used to be proud

Used to be more

Used to feel more

Mother can you read us both to sleep

Like you did when

Father used to save a place for me

Things were good then

Remember how you said you’d always be with my best friend

Remember me

He walks in his sleep

Counting each step and remembers breathe

He tries not to shake

His dust to the ground

With each time he fails

He sinks farther down

He’s losing his faith

He used to be proud

Used to be more

He tries not to shake

His dust to the ground

With each time he fails

He sinks further down

He’s losing his faith

He used to be proud

Used to be more

Used to feel more

Used to be more
