Honest when we're sleeping ~

[~Vera]

We’re Only Honest When We’re Sleeping

You're a broken thing
Your cracks are showing through
Your best attempts
At making nice with the world
So keep on dreaming
Cause someday soon the things that keep you at bay
Will fade away
Or so I've heard

Chorus:
We're only honest when we're sleeping
We're lying wide awake and dreaming
Wishing that we were someone else
This bed's as cold as hell
When you're lying next to me.

It's a twisted game
A brief & oft-repeating
Prose that never seems to resonate
Spin the finger of blame
It's always on the heart that kept on beating
While the other pulled up lame

Chorus

The ceiling paints a picture
And everything's a welcome work of art
Amidst the chaos in the mirror the lies in lipstick red

We're only honest when we're sleeping
We're lying wide awake and dreaming
Wishing that we were someone else
This bed's as cold as hell

I wonder how many other songs that he plans on introducing to us from his high school days.

The man himself corrected the lyrics of this song, a fan asked him to do it.
Here the paper with his handwriting correction.
