Now We Sleep by Artificial Language Lyrics
[Shay Lewis, Michael Lessard, Both]
[Verse: Lewis]
I’m your inner voice bringing things to light
Opening doors to one’s sealed closed, then keeping us inside
I’m sure there’s reasons for lack of control
I am sure there’s reasons for that
We know too well
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve done this dance before
As your eyes close, mine awake
Just in time to let you know
[Chorus]
Every day’s a blessing because time is shortening
Wide awake or dead asleep, I never catch dreams
[Verse: Lessard, Lewis, Both]
Sometimes self love comes with self harm
The pills are poison only if you want them to be
I wish that we shared the same thoughts, and not the same bed
Choosing who dreams and walks toward death
Death
[Pre-Chorus: Lessard, Lewis]
By the time we’re eaten by the rivers mouth, we’ll be driftwood
Moving with the stray channels, we’ll be
(With the stray channels)
[Bridge: Both]
The back of my mind’s deserted
It is time to find your way there and make your peace, without me holding you back
Without me [x3]
Without me holding you back
[Pre-Chorus: Lewis]
Once again, the void called us towards it’s calming warm embrace
Then, you left me stranded here; when we were so close to our own endless conversations
I’ll sneak away to the surface when you falter again
[Chorus]
Every day’s a blessing because time is shortening
Wide awake or dead asleep, I never catch dreams
[Outro]
I can’t tell if you’re worth saving
I can’t tell if you’re worth saving
I can’t tell if you’re worth saving
Who here’s convincing who to lean away from the prize?
Prize
Can we save us from ourselves?
[Verse: Lewis]
I’m your inner voice bringing things to light
Opening doors to one’s sealed closed, then keeping us inside
I’m sure there’s reasons for lack of control
I am sure there’s reasons for that
We know too well
[Pre-Chorus]
We’ve done this dance before
As your eyes close, mine awake
Just in time to let you know
[Chorus]
Every day’s a blessing because time is shortening
Wide awake or dead asleep, I never catch dreams
[Verse: Lessard, Lewis, Both]
Sometimes self love comes with self harm
The pills are poison only if you want them to be
I wish that we shared the same thoughts, and not the same bed
Choosing who dreams and walks toward death
Death
[Pre-Chorus: Lessard, Lewis]
By the time we’re eaten by the rivers mouth, we’ll be driftwood
Moving with the stray channels, we’ll be
(With the stray channels)
[Bridge: Both]
The back of my mind’s deserted
It is time to find your way there and make your peace, without me holding you back
Without me [x3]
Without me holding you back

Then, you left me stranded here; when we were so close to our own endless conversations
I’ll sneak away to the surface when you falter again

Every day’s a blessing because time is shortening
Wide awake or dead asleep, I never catch dreams
[Outro]
I can’t tell if you’re worth saving
I can’t tell if you’re worth saving
I can’t tell if you’re worth saving
Who here’s convincing who to lean away from the prize?
Prize
Can we save us from ourselves?
