lyrics

I keep my spirit locked inside a coffin
Somewhere you can't see
I let her take a peek inside one morning
But she kept the key
Now I'm free

You come and go just like the seasons
And now my lungs are barely breathing
A beating heart can be deceiving
So I'm counting on the sounds of sleep

And loneliness it makes me weep
So I'm counting on the sounds of sleep

These endless nights they wrap their arms around me
It's you I wanna see
The devil walks in a disguise
A velvet dress and dark brown eyes

Love is more than just a reason
Yeah it's a shield that I believe in
I wear it proudly like a soldier
As I'm counting on the sounds of sleep

Give me some time to see
That it can't get any better
Oh but it burns in my sleep
I toss and I turn like the sea

So who am I supposed to be
When you hide your face around me
Loneliness it makes me weep
So I'm counting on the sounds of sleep

Love is more than just a reason
It's more than something to believe in
Yeah I'm awake but I'm still dreaming
And I'm counting on the sounds of sleep
