Soul Sleep - Invent Animate

Native tongues

We have accepted

That we can never see eye to eye

With one another

Fear remains on your soul, and as life unfolds

You have become the tale untold

Bury me under dirt and sorrow

Like a broken dream

This was never meant to be

End the noise, end it now

Slow voices surround me

With nowhere to go

I refuse to listen

Empty stares from uneasy eyes

I see you’re dead inside

Stuck in gloom, so soon

Am I in the wrong?

Am I losing ground?

The judgement you speak

Has skewed all clarity

Pacing around the room

All the eyes are now on you

Empty stares from uneasy eyes

I see you’re dead inside

Stuck in gloom, so soon

The outcast in me

Can see right through

The desperation in you

I have just one word of advice

A message to the stray:

You’ve become stagnant

You’ve become tame

Stop living halfway, stop living halfway

Stop living halfway
