Sleep Face

We were just about to set sail

As the storm came rolling in

I could see your hands relaxing

And the wrinkles in your skin

Someone's giving someone's taking

Society rule number one

Don't plead for my forgiveness

Just own up to what you've done

Just look at your

Sleep face

Waves washing over it

Taking control away

You're putting your game face

Game face down

Will the worry lines give you away?

Keep watching your mind keep running away

It was silent in the courthouse

As the charges were read out

The press were making sketches

As your voice was heard to shout

I was man enough to face up when I

Heard the things you did

I always knew you had it in you

I just hoped you'd keep it hid.

Just look at your

Sleep face

Waves washing over it

Taking control away

You're putting your game face

Game face down

Will the worry lines give you away?

Keep watching your mind keep running away

Your mind drifts back to the Schoolhouse

Close your eyes and count to ten

I could see your face relaxing

As it drifts to REM

You're minds editing the past

So you can see what lies ahead

Thoughts are rising to the surface

New dreams fill your head instead

Just look at your

Sleep face

Waves washing over it

Taking control away

You're putting your game face

Game face down

Will the worry lines give you away?

Keep watching your mind keep running away
