Lyrics

Invisible, inviting vision linger
This swirl of smoke looks like her slender body
I see everything in frames now. golden gilded
Rippled edges wave goodnight
Lightsleeper. what's keeping you from waking?
This shallow stare has said it all
Your cold dark face reminds me of the night we learned to smoke
Fireflies at our lips
Thirty seven years until I show my face again
Steal this moment. make it worth saving
Choke down the clouds that cloud your head now
It would make my gloomy day
Whoever you are you've stayed far away for too long
The clocks are flipping on their backs
Don't stay too late. I'll fizzle and fade
A statue of stoned beliefs
A monument to monumental dying thoughts
Let the currents take us where they will
From this hill I can see the world unfold before me
I'm brooding over broken nights
I break each sentence like a limb
This is my exit
I storm out stage left
It'll feel like I left you so long ago
These arms will bleed. I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting with wishful elation
Lightsleeper, you could make my gloomy day
Make this moment worth saving
