lyrics

Sleepy Eyes,
I cannot see,
keep me safe inside your window while you comfort me.
But we never meant to kill our dreams.

Sleepy Eyes,
stand close to me,
surround me with your presence and your honesty.
But we never meant to kill our dreams.

Look what you have done,
the monarch's killed his son.
Now there's no one left but you.

Sleepy Eyes,
you burden me,
lock me high inside your tower, never set me free.
But we never meant to kill our dreams.

Sleepy Eyes,
you've lied to me,
poisoned everything I cared for and abandoned me.
But we never meant to kill our dreams.

Look what we've become,
this plan accounts for no one but you and your selfishness.

Sleepy Eyes,
look what we've made,
our own design,
a treehouse in me.
But those sleepy eyes are made from machines.

Sleepy Eyes,
we're lost in clockwork dreams and,
Sleepy Eyes,
you are evergreen.
You color me in everything.

Sleepy Eyes,
you once danced like the leaves and replaced your trees harboring spirit with me.
Now,
Sleepy Eyes,
breathe with me.

Sleepy Eyes,
abandon me.
