lyrics

while everyone is still asleep
while everyone is still and cold and weak and lost in a dream
while everyone is still asleep
while everyone is still and prone in darkness, paralyzed, meek
while everyone is still asleep
while everyone has reached the cornerstone of peak fear and grief
while everyone is still asleep
while everyone is waking comatose and shorn and taken out at the knees

while everyone is still asleep
while nobody is bristled, teeming, cawing, making a scene
while everyone is still asleep
while lonely few are staring, waiting, patient, surely diseased
while everyone is still asleep
while many more are driven sauced and stoned straight over the pier
while everyone is still asleep
while everyone is scattered, fragmented, at peace, held at the throat by the seer
