[Verse 1]

Oh, silver tongue

Your perfect skin draped over bones

I pick apart the thought of you when I’m alone

And the moon hangs low outside my window

Much like the weights inside my head

I’d be accomplishing the same feats if I was dead

[Chorus]

All I know around me’s breaking apart as I drift into nothing

Every memory takes me back to the start

Then the thought slips away

I am nothing but the absence of space in a world that won’t matter

Can’t find meaning in the things that I do

But time sleeps when I’m with you

[Verse 2]

Help me find something else to care about

And in time I can amend

They’ve all get their stones keeping them down

For those times I cannot mend

After all these years you’re still all I write about

And it’s still my own hands keeping me down

I’m not getting any closer to comfort

The lessons learnt, why’s it still hurt?

[Chorus]

All I know around me’s breaking apart as I drift into nothing

Every memory takes me back to the start

Then the thought slips away

I am nothing but the absence of space in a world that won’t matter

Can’t find meaning in the things that I do

But time sleeps when I’m with you

[Outro]

(Time sleeps, when I’m with you)

What would be left if clocks strayed

Years that sleepwalk into days

(Time sleeps, when I’m with you)

A constant echo in your mind

(Time sleeps when I’m with you)

Eternity left undefined

(When I’m with you, time sleeps)
