lyrics

How Will We Sleep

I’m no man’s idol and no man’s my king. I was born on the pause of a pendulum swing. My father was quiet. My mother would sing: If you found love in life, you’ve found everything. Oh, how will we sleep to the crash and the clang, as the hell-bent hell fires burn on in our names? How will we live: By the dove or the blade? Will we keep our eyes closed as the dream slips away? I take my hit. I take my bitter pill. But I still spare the rod and the in-for-the-kill. What comes in on a temper goes out on a chill. Do we learn from our past, or just say that we will? Oh, how will we sleep to the crash and the clang, as the hell-bent hell fires burn on in our names? How will we live: By the dove or the blade? Will we keep our eyes closed as the dream slips away? Oh, I love my baby. And I love my son. But I won’t hold my breath. And I won’t hold my tongue. Growing old seemed like death to me when I was young. Now I want to grow old. And I want to belong. Oh, how will we sleep to the crash and the clang, as the hell-bent hell fires burn on in our names? How will we live: By the dove or the blade? Will we keep our eyes closed as the dream slips away? Will we keep our eyes closed as the dream slips away? Will we keep our eyes closed as the dream slips away?
