Baby Don’t Sleep

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What the fuck is you thinking? Better yet, where the fuck is you going? Year factor, no star mapping; out here, nobody knowing Time flying, and you figure you'd fly right along with it Not hearing no warnings; in the morning, you go get it Like, thruster, throttle, play that out; move a half a moon around a galaxy You play that down like it's nothing Nothing out of nothing leaves you wishing every day that they was still around Sulking in the corridor, corroding while you mill about 'Bout a million miles a millimeter, doesn't really mean nothing 'Cause your body is bone marrow and blood, can never be trusted It won't last to the nearest destination, you couldn't function So you load into the chamber and treat sleep like it's a punch-in Space is wavy, follow formant, analyze it spectrally The specter in the spectrum, on inspection, is an entity You call it "God," or "man," or "woman"; "love" or "hope"—it's all the same A nickel-bag philosophy, a beta boost inside a brain [Pre-Chorus] No home, you've been there; clearly off safety No destination, no time for waiting Saviors are fiction, memories fading like ghosts, ghosts Go [Chorus] Baby, don't sleep; baby, don't sleep too much Baby, don't sleep; baby, don't sleep too much Baby, don't sleep; baby, don't sleep too much Baby, don't sleep (Baby, don't sleep) [Verse 2] Conversation is tough when you think too much 'bout the metals Most time is spent silently just monitoring your levels Scanning for the Clay Ark and the blood pressure, and, "Stay dark" It's off long enough so your days aren't just arbitrary, though they are Nothing is familiar, so the strange become the family Analogies of old are useless—when was last you had a tree? For reference or for reverence, irrevocable amnesty For sure, by now, you're so far gone, to track would be insanity Ingrain all the membranes; you get conscience as a dark spot Heavier than the other antimatters in your stark thoughts Can't shake what you've done no matter how far you outrun it Mask that with the false fact that somebody is coming Delusional is easier than self-examination But you gotta make a choice of where you're going because staying is surrendering Since you might be the last, that's not an option Get your shit together, loverboy—stop looking at the clock [Pre-Chorus] No home, you've been there; clearly off safety No destination, no time for waiting Saviors are fiction, memories fading like ghosts, ghosts Go [Chorus] Baby, don't sleep; baby, don't sleep too much Baby, don't sleep; baby, don't sleep too much Baby, don't sleep; baby, don't sleep too much Baby, don't sleep (Baby, don't sleep)
