It's Like a Heartbeat, Only It Isn't - Electric President

While you slept it off

Your empire was lost

Now we’re not your sons

And your old silver tongue

It don’t work too well now

We wandered off

With our heads nice and soft

But we were still numb

And we burned in the sun

It got torn to pieces

I rub the grass from off my eyes

And scratch my name into the sky

The things beneath my floor once lied

I’ll never let them out

And all my teeth (teeth) are now at my feet (feet)

And all of the blood

It comes in a flood

Start counting sheep

Then I fall asleep again

I find myself a-wonderin'

Are forests made of skeletons of people I once knew

And all their spines (spines) are perfectly aligned (aligned)

Like coal powered lines

Or forks silver tines

Now I’m out again

We left the ground

And I floated off

And got lost

Now this ain’t my home

There’s no warmth in these bones

Just a mark-up to help me pretend I’m sleeping

While we slept it off

All the money was lost

Now we can’t stand up

Yeah the lead in our guts

It just weighs us down now

We’ll crawl along

Despite what goes wrong

Cause we’re not that young

Takes more than your guns to scare us off now

Our feet left the ground

And I floated off

And got lost

Now my house is far below

It’s buried in snow

And I can’t see my footprints anymore, they’re too small

I drift through the clouds

With my heart in my mouth

I’m not stopping

Now the earth is far behind

I’m lost in the sky

With my eyes closed, I’m just waiting for my air to run out
