Twenty Centuries of Sleep - Driver Friendly

The city’s hungry, I can feel it in the heat

My stomach’s empty, I feel it in my teeth

Heard your voice last night in my sleep

A silhouette of a memory I wish I didn’t keep

Oh when the nightmare’s over

All that’s left behind

Are the same words on repeat

Carry on, carry on, carry on

Our best laid plans are never in our hands, are never in our hands

Caught up, cast away like curses in the wind

Search a waste of desert sand, of desert sand

Caught up, cast away like curses in the wind

I feel the weight of the legacy

It’s bearing down on me

Your voice is haunting me

All the time it sings

The same words at night in my sleep

The same words on repeat

It carries on for centuries

I watch the future unfold and truth be told

It caught me clean off guard

Things fall apart, the center cannot hold

Our best laid plans are never in our hands, are never in our hands

Caught up, cast away like curses in the wind

Search a waste of desert sand, of desert sand

Caught up, cast away like curses in the wind

The city’s hungry

I can feel it in the heat

My stomach’s empty

I feel it in my teeth

Twenty centuries of sleep

Twenty centuries of sleep

Twenty centuries of sleep

Twenty centuries of sleep

With our backs against the wall we’re not caving in

Let the tide meet the shoreline, we can drink it all in

With our backs against the wall we’re not caving in

Let the tide meet the shoreline, we can drink it all in

Twenty centuries of sleep

Twenty centuries of sleep

Twenty centuries of sleep

Twenty centuries of sleep
