Sleep Deprived Songtext
von Geist

Ls this what it′s like to be institutionalised?
Sleep your full eight and wake up tired
Shaved for burial and sleep deprived
Nystagmic flutters in dreams tethered ties
Repeat after me. we're all doing fine
They′ve always got a name for our kind
They've always got a pill to make us right

With the side effects that keep us half alive


Aptly prescribed to keep us paralysed
Learn your lines before our dogmas collide
We're itemised, prioritised
So my sleepwalking can be synchronised

And we close the door on our endless nights
This is failure to comply
Yet the flaws in me they still abide
They sound like empty wishes, at least they′re mine

But the trumpets won′t sound because it's all a lie


Fields of dystopian loss in our eyes
There′s nothing left to feed the combines
Find me in silence ill-advised
Gorging on chemicals and unsatisfied
Live out the days like we're waiting to die
Would you see, me if I burned the skies?
Swallowing stars under a web of wire
