Sleep Evil Sleep - Steam Powered Giraffe

Catch me, I’m falling

Down the Rabbit Hole

Things get quite mad

When you’ve got no soul

Help me, I’m spinning

I’m out of control

Wish I could find something

To make me whole

I can see the metal strike the pedal, sends me firin' away

I can see the cards with their pitchforks and their torches lit from my own

flame

But as far as I run, and as hard as I try, I can never seem to make it out

I’m flying off the edge of a cliff into a hurricane

Save me, love

Keep your vow

Put a heart

In this tin girl now

Sleep evil, sleep

It’s the truth that I dread

Tomorrow we’ll be back to

Tearing wires from our head

There’s no one left to blame

Just the things that I have said

So sleep evil, sleep

Tonight you are dead

Oh it’s such a marvelous thing

To beat the sirens to scene

I confess it was me

I thought it was the end of days

Oh you never know

Where I’m gonna go

Any moment now I’ll become an explosive tidal wave

Save me, love

Though I don’t know how

Fix the brain

Of this straw girl now

Sleep evil, sleep

You’ve torn me to shreds

I’ve spent the entire day

Putting out fires in my head

I squeeze myself real tight

As my mind hangs by a thread

Please sleep evil, sleep

Tonight you are dead

Never living, never aging

Never growing, never dying

Never learning, it’s concerning

Disconcerting.

I will never be free

I want the world to know

That I am in control

As they look upon my broken soul

They’ll say «she was her own worst foe»

Save me, love

Keep your vow

Find some nerve

For this coward now

Sleep evil, sleep

It’s all just in my head

Come the morning sun

I’ll fight the same demons yet again

You can weld me to my knees

But I won’t pray for mercy, no

Sleep evil, sleep

Tonight you are dead
