Lion Skin - Hands Like Houses

I wonder, can you daydream at night?

Lying awake, I’ve had too much time

I’m watching picture shows in the shadows

Dance for the crowd tonight

Imagination is such a vivid place to hide

While stars watch over you

Through silent homes

The lights are out, but I walk these halls

The way I’ve walked before

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls

The lights are out, but I walk these halls

I promised not to wake you

So I’ll walk light, just so you can hear

The rats in the roof and termites in the ceiling

We’ll hear everything except what we need to hear

Sleeplessness is for the restless and I’m just fine

Left to wander, aimless in unconsciousness

There’s spiders crawling from the corners of my eyes

Let them weave their little webs

To snatch the sunlight from the lens

I’m staring at the ceiling cause I’m fed up with the sight

Weigh my eyelids back to sleep, sealed by silken silver threads

While stars watch over you

Through silent homes

The lights are out, but I walk these halls

The way I’ve walked before

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls

The lights are out, but I walk these halls

Cast the sheep out of your mind

Count the wolves and we’ll sleep tonight

I stumble in and I stumble out

Of unfamiliar rooms in foreign houses, but I’m at home

Now a ghost has left behind his sheets

Unrequited, until I wake up somewhere

Until I wake up somewhere I know I’ve never been

I’ll stay 'til sleep takes over you

And I’ll walk while stars watch over you

Through silent homes

The lights are out, but I walk these halls

The way I’ve walked before

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls

The lights are out, but I walk these halls

The way I’ve walked before

Sleeping, with saints and apparitions between the walls

The lights are out, but I walk these halls

Cast the sheep out of your mind

Count the wolves and we’ll sleep tonight
