Sleepwalk - Christian Death

Feel these arms

Steel arms, now we are blind

Hide my eyes

My eyes so out of place here

Now we are hard-cutting

Trapped in beneath

Cold-loving mirrors stand alone

They lead you alone

They lead you alone

Old hearts break down

Footsteps tied till believeing

Can we hold sand?

Slow hands break up the family

We all fall down

One chance to fail, sleepwalking

Take off your face

You’ll learn to trust my dry hands

This cage is still

And he cracks, now we are safer

True dreams stay west

I say to kids «are you protected?»

Now we are answers

Silence pressed pure

We wait at the crest of our will

And we stand alone

We lead you alone

We lead you alone

(Still) we will feel movement

(Still) and we will fill stations

(Still) we will fear time

(Still) this time we are bleeding

(Still) tears of love like strangers

(Still) bite through, break the ice

(Still) soon words will be forgotten

(Still) though, cruel scenes linger on

We hide from sound-paintings on distant walls

We hide from cold still-lives on empty floors

We hide our bent husbands behind slamming doors

Don’t run to the window

Because burning glass warps

We stand still

And we stand like whores

We are alone

And we stand still

And we stand like whores

We are alone

We stand still

Yes, we stand like whores

We are alone

We stand still
