The Sleeping and the Dead Songtext
von Born of Osiris

As I witness you fall behind.
I continuevsnd start to rise.
Now you′re after a droning daze to fall back into, sulk in your shame.

In connection we find a game so obvious planned from the start, can't explain why.
It distracts us.

I′m delirious and the air is thinning.
The room is spinning and I am sitting.
Every breath I'm consuming my own doubt.

It still keeps us alive (see theres an evil thats outraged).
Still it keeps us alive (resistance plays at our heart strings).

When the weight comes down.
You reject it, just accept it.
Thinking you need out.

You create it, you can escape it.

This urgency you feel each second.
Will never leave don't ever think it′s the end.


I′m delirious and the air is thinning.
The room is spinning and I am sitting.
Every breath I'm consuming my own doubt.

It still keeps us alive (see theres an evil that′s outraged).
Still it keeps us alive (resistance plays at our heart strings).

Alive to keep us reckless with toxins in ours veins.
While basic operators follow directions and play the game.

What you say in your head is not what you tell the world.
It still keeps us alive (see theres an evil thats outraged).
Still it keeps us alive (resistance plays at our heart strings).

Destroying all my fears.
Just as the picture is about to come clear.
I dissemble! (Falling to the ground I).
Dissemble! (Shattered on the floor I).
Dissemble! (Picking up the pieces as I)
Dissemble!

Destroying all my fears.
Just as the picture is about to come clear.
I dissemble!
Dissemble!
