Glue - Early Morning Silence lyrics

rate me

My paradise is gone, and you have thirty seconds to wake up<br />

From a nightmare with a flooding rush<br />

Of memories like this one, <br />

Caressing your inventive side<br />

I find pride is my enemy most of the time<br />

Obsessed with finding answers, guided by voices<br />

The choices I've made have been cancerous<br />

Suppose this were you, tell me how would you live<br />

Energy all spent, with nothing left to give<br />

Except a rib and your blessing to be free<br />

Doesn't sound much like a fair trade to me<br />

Obviously it was finding the better of both worlds<br />

No matter how much it hurts, and we both deserve<br />

The company we keep to let us get good sleep<br />

I'm not weak right now, but it's not worth it to eat <br />

It was never part of the plan to end up like this<br />

And I'm not trying to die for the things I can't admit<br />

<br />

This morning I woke up, the ceiling was spinning<br />

My eyes couldn't adjust, the sun was beginning<br />

To pry open the shades and burn through cotton skies<br />

I reached over to hold you but you were cold as night<br />

The room was hot, but your body felt different<br />

I tried to wake you up, but your head never lifted<br />

I was whispering into your ear "please don't leave"<br />

She was sleeping in gods arms where I couldn't reach<br />

Her face was against my chest, the silence was singing<br />

The song of innocence, feeling like children again<br />

The moment was stuck, I couldn't breathe<br />

I screamed for someone to help us up here... please<br />

Nobody was there, just me and my love<br />

Wrapped up in the blankets that meant so much<br />

Touching her skin against mine the life slipped away<br />

God stole my heart, but left my body here to stay<br />

<br />

Went to sleep early, You have to be at school by 8<br />

Got out my flashlight to write and not keep her awake, <br />

I stay up too late, always tired in the morning, <br />

She's kisses me goodbye while I'm half asleep yawning, <br />

It's not that I'm lazy; I've got things to do, <br />

Not trying to say my art is more important that you, <br />

My epiphanies are killing me, but I'm keeping it quiet, <br />

I love to see see angels painting on the inside of her eyelids, <br />

Locked at the legs, if I move she'll wake up, <br />

So I stay in this position till my whole body's numb, <br />

When the room is still, I write to the rhythm of her pulse, <br />

But it's always perfect speed so my thoughts are never rushed<br />

Sometimes you roll over and try to mumble goodnight, <br />

I laugh because your hair is always sticking up to the right, <br />

Brush it away from your face because your smile is on, <br />

Whisper goodnight my love and turn my flashlight off.
