I'll Sleep When You're Dead
Ken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you disappear
Even when we thought it lasts
For a million years
Blurry signals in my head
Telling abstract threats
I feel deathlike when the senses rise
To an open end with a different glance
Get away. Just get away.
Seems today
Nothing lasts forever
It is hard to take
A step we used to take together
I´ll make my stand
Remain me as I am
Before I break
´Cause it aches.
Gather all the strength I have
To get me through the night
I never thought it could hurt so bad
When you´re off my mind
It feels so unkind
Go away. Just go away.
Seems today
Nothing lasts forever
It is hard to take
A step we used to take together
I´ll make my stand
Remain me as I am
Before I break
´Cause it aches.
