Lyrics

[Intro] Are you ready for this? [Verse 1] I pull my eyes like slot machines I do but I never fall asleep These sheep I count don't show up anymore, oh And a stray cat cries, and wakes the stars The constellations fray the dark I toss and turn my demons 'til they're awed, oh [Refrain] 'Cause I'm restless for the future And I'm battered by the past I'm paralyzed, nocturnal, never crash [Chorus] 'Cause I'm lying in my room Wishing night birds would come through And my wings are in my chest Packs of lonely cigarettes Keep waiting for a match to light my soul I'm lying in my bed 'til blood runs cold But these night birds move too slow [Verse 2] The clock is wrong, I still believe Someday they'll find my batteries I think I lost them somewhere deep in hell, yeah Some say Neil Armstrong jumped the moon 'Cause it never shines a perfect hue I wonder if it's fading like myself, yeah [Refrain] 'Cause I'm hopeful for a new day But I'm shattered like a glass I'm paralyzed, nocturnal, never crash [Chorus] 'Cause I'm lying in my room Wishing night birds would come through And my wings are in my chest Packs of lonely cigarettes Keep waiting for a match to light my soul I'm lying in my bed 'til blood runs cold But these night birds move too slow [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] 'Cause I'm lying in my room Wishing night birds would come through And my wings are in my chest Packs of lonely cigarettes Keep waiting for a match to light my soul I'm lying in my bed 'til blood runs cold But these night birds move too slow
