We say we won't / we say we won't.
But we're still cold from selling off shares of our souls.
And are you alone?
Are you alone?
'Cause I can't stay away from that old phrase: "I won't sleep, I won't sleep" but now it's all I crave.
No, not yet!
If I'm being honest, I promise you're gonna have to keep your chin up.
Bite your tongue, swallow blood through this one.
And I'll tell you when you've had enough.
We all make our own handcuffs.
I won't sleep.
I won't sleep.
I won't.
Now we're all on our knees, through another 40 hour work week.
And we'll all have some hell to pay from sidestepping words that we'll never say.
How will I meet you there if I still don't know the way?
There's more to life than all of this gray.
Sidestepping words that we'll never...
*** This song is an ode to a long time friend of the band, Collin Pietz. With his permission, we used some lines of one of his classic songs from his project Plains, because Jordan wanted those words and the meaning behind them to live on just a little bit longer, instead of being completely put to rest when the project came to an end. Special thanks and love goes out to Collin and his words. Never sleep. ***
