The Back of My Mind

from Now We Sleep by Artificial Language

/

lyrics

I can’t tell if you’re worth saving
Who here’s convincing who to lean away from the prize?
Can you save you from yourself?


I’ve stood so close to you
While you’ve counted reasons to live out your unfinished design


Our common retreat is where you can leave me futile replies
Then check your doorstep at sunrise
A good night’s sleep is all that we really do need
Not alone


We’re just one in a billion
What makes us truly unique?
I’ll offer many questions with answers we shouldn’t speak


I’ve stood so close to you
While you’ve counted reasons to live out your unfinished design


Let’s slowly dim our living daylights until we are all blind
The night life’s perfect
You deserve it
A good night’s sleep with no expectations you’ll wake all alone


Dear friend, we are one in too many
Used as gears we run a machine
We’re just one in a billion
What makes us truly unique?


I write to you because no-one else listens
Will you convince me to step far away from the prize?
Can you save you from yourself?
