06 - Sleepwalking (Music and lyrics by Keiko's Last Smile)

Head hangs low, you can sleep when you’re dead
Headlines walk the street, Mr. Monday overhead
Breath of life leaks out, like a cloud, a flock of sheep
Taxman in my dreams, am I awake, am I asleep?

My mother’s eyes, Atlantic blue
Forgot how to spell my name and I forgot yours too
Don’t leave me here, I don’t wanna die alone
The stars all get the joke, but me, I still don’t know

Hungry now, rats gnawing in my guts
I try to close my eyes, but these goddamn eyes won’t shut
Quiet as the grave, blood like tigers in my ears
Broken ballerinas, is that wine, are those tears?

I’m afraid of the dark, and Mr. Monday’s gone away
I try to remember the questions, the ones I’m supposed to say
Inferno in my guts, bubbling up one last scream
There’s no more sand in me, nothing left but dreams

Get up
Walking in my sleep
