While you slept it offnYour empire was lostnNow we're not your sonsnYour old silver tonguenIt don't work too well nownnWe wandered offnWith our heads nice and softnBut we were still numbnAnd we burned in the sunnAnd got torn to piecesnnI walked across from eyesnAnd scratched my name into the skynThe things beneath my floorboards flynI'll never let them outnAnd all my teeth are down at my feetnAnd all of the blood comes in a floodnStart counting sheepnnThen I fall asleep againnAnd by myself I'm wonderingnA forest made of skeletonsnOf people I once knewnAnd all their spines are perfectly alignednLike cold power linesn...nnMy feet left the groundnAnd I floated off and got lostnNow this ain't my homenThere's no warmth in these bonesnJust a mock up to help me pretend I'm sleepingnnWhile we slept it offnAll the money was lostnNow we can't stand upnYeah, the blood in our gutsnIt just weighs us down nownWe'll crawl alongnDespite what goes wrongn'cause we're not that youngnTakes more than your guns to scare us off nownn...nnMy feet left the groundnAnd I floated off and got lostnNow my house is far belownIt's buried in snownAnd I can't see my footprints anymore; they're too smallnI drift through the clouds with my heart in my mouthnI'm not stoppingnNow the Earth is far behindnI'm lost in the sky with my eyes closednI'm just waiting for my air to run out
