Lyrics Brother Ali

Brother Ali

Sleepwalker

I do not have any memory of peaceful sleep

feels like I read about it in a novel once

I believe that all the little secrets people keep

When you drop your guard, and slumber, they come out and front

I crush to sleep for nothing, I'm left to beat the sun

And my breath, they keep it rushing, my chest, with deep percussion

If death and sleep are cousins, then justice is disgusting

We'll probably be cellmates behind Hell's gates

The devil lives inside my eyelids

When I close them I hit rising violence, I'm supposed to find some silence

Rockin' the back seat of insomniac theatre

With the answers in the subtitles, I just cant read em

I'm right where the fears at, fighting the tears back

Trying to catch my balance on life before the piers crack

I hear that, hate slammin my own little prison

I declare that, ?hate band?, my soul didn't listen

So I stare at, the crack in the ceiling until the earth go twistin

Glare at, that little feeling that I've been burdened with, its turbulant

Only you and I know that the hurt exists

Everyone else just see the surfaces

Somebody tell my mother that I died

Somebody tell my mother that I died

Somebody tell my mother that I died

Somebody tell my mother that I

I can only hope that, when I wake up at night in cold sweats

That you're suffering and miserable in your own bed

I pray I haunt you the way you haunt me

The way I feel I never want to see you walk free

I hope your thoughts will burn as you toss and squirm

And curse your life, feeling like you lost your turn

And I pray that I haunt you the way you haunt me

The way I feel I never want to see you walk free

I can only hope that, when I wake up at night in cold sweats

That you're suffering and miserable in your own bed

I pray I haunt you the way you haunt me

The way I feel I never want to see you walk free

I hope your thoughts will burn as you toss and squirm

And curse your life, feeling like you lost your turn

And I pray that I haunt you the way you haunt me

The way I feel I never want to see you walk free

Fuck you Ali!

Somebody tell my mother that I died

Somebody tell my mother that I died

Somebody tell my mother that I died

Somebody tell my mother that
