The elusive hand of sleep

Lyrics

[Chorus: stone deluxe & James Gorczyca] Is ye a man or a mouse in the grandfather clock? Tick tock, I was lost in the lot Like a fist to the jaw, came the hand so elusive When all appeared lost, neither mortal nor god I was right, I was wrong, it don't matter, these fingers are long When the palm of sleep takes you Take a step, took a step, faithful In its grasp pulled through the depths, I'm grateful Pull me down to an abyss Thought that I was in it deep from the beginning, yeah Holding on with a fierce grip This shit won't let me go, I think it's time for acceptance Pull me down to an abyss Thought that I was in it deep from the beginning, yeah Holding on with a fierce grip This shit won't let me go, I think it's time for acceptance [Verse 1: stone deluxe] I was in the backseat, me and my bottle Pulling from the glassy, never no model Strike a deal, barter, quick with it, we busy getting to industries There ain't no mo'fucking sympathy Beaten from boots to the tip of my symmetry I try to speak with a sprinkle of imagery If you ain't know me, you better get into me I got no rivals, opponents, or enemies Send me downstream in a matchstick box This elastic clock stretch chapters I'll close my eyes, know again I'll rise Till then, Stone food for Blathers Sleep is a luxury I was blithing and blustering, but subside in the drudgery How could you stunt on me? When there's only the one of me and the duke of the damned [Chorus: stone deluxe & James Gorczyca] Is ye a man or a mouse in the grandfather clock? Tick tock, I was lost in the lot Like a fist to the jaw, came the hand so elusive When all appeared lost, neither mortal nor god I was right, I was wrong, it don't matter, these fingers are long When the palm of sleep takes you Take a step, took a step, faithful In its grasp pulled through the depths, I'm grateful Pull me down to an abyss Thought that I was in it deep from the beginning, yeah Holding on with a fierce grip This shit won't let me go, I think it's time for acceptance Pull me down to an abyss Thought that I was in it deep from the beginning, yeah Holding on with a fierce grip This shit won't let me go, I think it's time for acceptance [Verse 2: James Gorczyca] All I ever known was sleep or sit I'll accept this, it won't make a difference In the end, at least someone's there to comfort I'd rather have it this way than to suffer I forgot the feeling of a gentle touch Palm of melatonin, suck away the fuss I forgot the feeling of a gentle touch Palm of melatonin, suck away the fuss Knock my ass to sleep I won't writhe or scream Drag my body down I rest forever now And when the darkness seeps I'll meet the one who reaps "I need to put you down" I rest forever now
