Letra de 'The Old Witch Sleep And The Good Man Grace' de The Amazing Devil

There’s a fire burning
And I'm learning to be
So much more than my tiredness
So much more than that old witch sleep wishes
She kisses my eyelids
And I breathe

You don’t have to be brilliant
She says as she scrolls
Through the rolls that the millions
Of hollering hollow folk know how to play
It’s ok
They’re just shadows searching for light
They can’t stay

Sleep now, oh, she says
Tomorrow’s jokes have yet to be laughed at or said
Just rest now, she moans
Then the hollow folk come
Pour me wine by my bed
And their dead hollers hum at the things that I’ve said
And say no, no, no, no

'Cause you are in the earth of me
You are in the earth of me
My head’s not yours it’s mine
'Cause you are in the earth of me

Somehow now I'm drinking
And I'm lifting my glass
To that last good man grace
Who has left me, he’s left me at last
And I laugh, and I laugh
'Cause laughing right now, it’s all, all that I have

You’re better than this
He says as a hand slaps my face as I stand
And say no good man grace
I can’t do this (you can)
I can’t do this (you can)
I can’t do this (you can)
I can’t do this you don’t understand

Sleep now, she pleads
You’re not a coward 'cause you cower
You brave because they broke you
Yet broken still you breathe
So breathe, breathe just breathe

Then the hollow folk pour me
Another shard full of glass
And I toast to their talents
And I forgive them at last
'Cause I know, oh I know, I know

That you are in the earth of me
You are in the earth of me
My head’s not yours it’s mine
And I’ll take my fucking time
'Cause I know, I know, I know

Let’s bury this

I'm all yours
You’re all mine
Let’s dance together
You and I

'Cause I'm not trapped
With you you see
You’re the one who’s
Trapped with me

'Cause I’ve been here so many times before
Don’t you think I look pretty
Curled up on this bathroom floor
'Cause where you see weakness I see wit
Sometimes I fall to pieces
Just to see what bits of me don’t fit

'Cause I when I stand oh those folks will run
And tell the tales of what I’ve become
They’ll speak of me in whispered tones
And say my name like it shakes their bones

'Cause we’ll dance together so close we’re sharing breath
But now I'm leading doesn’t that just scare you to death

'Cause I'm all yours
You’re all mine
Let’s dance together
You and I

'Cause I'm not trapped
With you you see
You’re the one who’s
Trapped with me

'Cause you are in the earth of me
You are in the earth of me
My head’s not yours it’s mine
And I’ll take my fucking time
'Cause I know, I know, I know
