Asleep in the Deep

  • The moment you walked in the room, my friend
    The demons, they all went away
    Be careful, they're only asleep for a while
    Pretending there's nothing to say

    Throw salt in all the corners here
    Make sure you watch him leave

    Build up the walls around this house
    And dig out the rot in the floor
    Block out the entrance with brick and stone
    And mortar that's made from coal

    Crawl into this hole I've made
    Transform these feelings of fear

    I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice)
    And I can't get you out of my mind
    I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice)
    And I can't get you out of my mind

    Loose lips have fallen on deaf ears
    Loose lips have fallen on blind eyes

    An ocean of sorrow surrounds this home
    I hope that we make it to shore
    As time chips away at the fortress walls
    It seems that we weathered the storm

    The sun begins to show itself
    Revealing victory

    I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice)
    And I can't get you out of my mind
    I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice)
    And I can't get you out of my mind
    I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice)
    And I can't get you out of my mind
    I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice)
    And I can't get you out of my mind

    Loose lips have fallen on deaf ears
    Loose lips have fallen on blind eyes

    I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice)
    And I can't get you out of my mind
    I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice)
    And I can't get you out of my mind
    I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice)
    And I can't get you out of my mind
    I'm on fire (say you'll remember her voice)
    And I can't get you out of my mind Writer/s: BRANN TIMOTHY DAILOR, TROY JAYSON SANDERS, WILLIAM BREEN KELLIHER, WILLIAM BRENT HINDS
