Mean Sleep Songtext
von Cree Summer

What can we scrape together
With just the flesh as evidence
Handfuls of hate
And the bittersweet ambivalence

′Cos I am pushin' cobwebs
And I′m folding into myself
Who will find me under this mean sleep?

How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain?
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change?

I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

You could burn a thousand days
And I would need no other light
You could die a thousand ways
And I'd still love you back to life

But my needs rising angry
And my loneliness like quicksand
Who will find me under this mean sleep?


How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain?
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change?

I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

I am lost to the longing
I am moulded by the memory
Had to shut down half my mind
Just to still the space you left behind

'Cos I am pushin′ cobwebs
And I′m folding into myself
Who will find me under this mean sleep?

How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain?
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change?

I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life
Coming back to life


I had a mean sleep
I had a mean, mean sleep over you
I had a mean sleep
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life
Coming back to life
I had a mean, mean sleep over you
I had a mean sleep
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life
Coming back to life, yeah

I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life
Coming back to life

I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life
Coming back to life
