Sleepwalking - Memphis May Fire

The city hides the secrets of the liars in the streets

The phone calls and assurances all for nothing (but looking good)

Every time the truth comes out its pushed away and pushed aside

But I won’t stand and watch it all

It all go unsaid

How many times will I fall victim to this It’s normal by now

No one helps each other up we push one another back down

It’s sad to see these people

And the apathy they have

I hope one day they lose it all for the choices they made

Out in the open there’s the air of brotherhood

And spoken truth yet everyone knows what goes on behind these closed doors

Do tell no one cares about the heart no one cares about the past

I’ve seen the way we treat each other

So keep smiling through your teeth

Don’t ever tell me you’re telling the truth

Don’t ever think you can speak my name

When did we stray from what we stand for

When did it all mean nothing to you

It’s hard to find honest mind in this city

And I keep hoping someone will speak up

It’s hard to find honest mind in this city

And I keep hoping hoping someone will speak up

I’ve seen how all of this ends

And I promise It’s worth whoever it offends

What happened to what we believed in

And I have seen how all of this ends

Sleepwalking our way to contentment

I won’t just let it be and let you smile through your teeth

You call yourself human

So say it straight to me

We’re sleepwalking all the way to contentment

When will somebody speak up

We’re sleepwalking all the way to contentment

When will somebody speak up speak up

Don’t ever tell me you’re telling the truth

And don’t ever think don’t ever think

And don’t ever think you can speak my name
