Glasshouse
Sleeptalking Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave no stone unturned
I'm letting you know you're free to throw them
As far as you're concerned
And if you cause damage to the ceiling
And then they're glassy-eyed
At least you'll know what sunlight feels like
I, I'm hoping that you feel it in time, feel it in time
I, I'm hoping that you feel it in time, feel it in time
A message to those upon the dark side
Of the waning moon
I'll show you, there's no use in barking
Why not paint it blue?
And even if you see me bleeding
There's no need to cry (need to cry)
At least you'll know what sunlight feels like
Before the day you die (before the day you die)
I, I'm hoping that you feel it in time, feel it in time
I, I'm hoping that you feel it in time, feel it in time
I, I'm hoping that you feel it in time, feel it in time
I, I'm hoping that you feel it in time, feel it in time
Time
Time
