lyrics

Must’ve been a lover in a past life ‘cause all my love’s gone dry
Will I see angels or devils on the day that I die?
I’ve been playing with some hard luck lately
And I don’t think it’s gonna end
I’ve been searching for a cure to save me
Running out of time to spend

Seems I’ve caught myself a sickness
It’s like a cancer of the soul
I had the hope of youth behind me
But now I’m growing old, yeah

Under a grey sky where the spirits meet
I’ll lay my guns down and I’ll find my sleep
No need for a grave to mark these bones of mine
Well I don’t think I’ll be coming home this time
No I don’t think I’ll be coming home this time

Travelled miles through the darkness
Just to find a patch of light
I’ve just an echo of a heartbeat
But I feel it pounding in the night
I’ve been feeling apathetic lately
It’s time to catch up with my ghosts
No compass but the stars above me
Am I anywhere close?

It’s funny how I miss the water
Now that the well has gone dry
I wish I had someone behind me
Who shared a tears-eyed goodbye
There was no one

Under a grey sky where the spirits meet
I’ll lay my guns down and I’ll find my sleep
No need for a grave to mark these bones of mine
Well I don’t think I’ll be coming home this time
No I don’t think I’ll be coming home this time

In those arms you hold the light and sound
A million miles to see it’s you I’ve found
If these legs threaten to turn around
I will fall and take up with the ground

And I don’t sleep

about

Sleepy and the Noise Ottawa, Ontario

Power trio composed of songwriter Christian Pasiak (vocals/guitar), Kira Montfort (drums) & Brian Dick (bass). Shortly after Brian joined in 2018, the debut album Fossils was laid to tape, featuring metaphor-rich songs about growing up in Canada, the fragility of memory, relationships, and health, and embracing a sense of humour & hope in what lies ahead and what's to become of us in trying times. ... more
