Singing in My Sleep - The Chills

Singing in my sleep

A word from the wise for the mindless

Hoping to keep all the silences out of my life

Singing in my sleep

A stinging reproach against violence

Hoping to cope with the pressures of musical life

Changing my values

A leader of people who’re guideless

So doing add to collection

The title of blind leading blind leading blind leading

Blind leading blind leading blind

Dangerous rages and amplified airing of anger

Repression of feeling

Preserved for a later date

The search for compassion

And attributes found in those younger

Finding, however, unaccountable harrowing hate

Craving reaction

A hideous terminal hunger

Starving for life in a world with so much on its plate

Singing in my sleep

Songs of such beauty and sadness

Earth’s emotions enraptured

But the songs fade away when I wake
