When I Sleep

from American by The Throne of Saint James

/

lyrics

I'm out of shape
I've been drinking like a sailor
VHS tapes
And books by Norman Mailer
In LA there's a quake
In New York there's talk of terror
A world filled with hate
The screens are flashing error

I hear your voice
When I'm awake
But when I sleep
I am afraid
We are alive
That's God's mistake
We call his bluff
But it's too late

I haven't changed
I'm still the man who needs you
If you feel the same
You know I'll always love you
The weak and the lame
Are the boys you knew in high school
I'm learning the game
I've mastered what I need to

I hear your voice
When I'm awake
But when I sleep
I am afraid
We are alive
That's God's mistake
We call his bluff
But it's too late

I hear your voice
When I'm awake
But when I sleep
I am afraid
We are alive
That's God's mistake
We call his bluff
But it's too late
