Sleeping Dogs

from Harmony Elsewhere by Carbon Jacket

lyrics

Step away from me
Just a little bit, you don't need my company
In the twilight of your life
Will you understand? Don't follow me through the night

Look into my endless eyes
See that I can cry no more
Comprehend this feeling
As I drift from your shore

Let sleeping dogs lie
Keep your mouth shut tight

Wasted potential, that's all we ever were
Walk away and you will see what you can build from the shell of me
Take it, use it, make sure you don't abuse it
I'll fade away into obscurity

Let sleeping dogs lie
Bottle it all up inside

Don't you understand
There never was a plan
Tonight I'll be a heartless bastard
I've got this horrible feeling mastered

Let sleeping dogs lie
Keep your mouth shut tight

Wasted potential, that's all we ever were
Walk away and you will see what you can build from the shell of me
Take it, use it, make sure you don't abuse it
I'll fade away into obscurity

Let sleeping dogs lie
Bottle it all up inside

Tonight I'll be a heartless bastard
I've got this horrible feeling mastered
Nothing good comes from moving forward
The prize is always behind the other door

You only get one flavor from the candy store
You never get, you never get, you never get anymore
Why'd we think we could break the rules?
Why'd we think? We were such fools

Why'd we think we could own the place?
The darkness comes quick, we were running late
Why'd you shine this light on me?
I thought I'd hidden everything that you shouldn't see

Let sleeping dogs lie
Keep your mouth shut tight

Wasted potential, that's all we ever were
Walk away and you will see what you can build from the shell of me
Take it, use it, make sure you don't abuse it
I'll fade away into obscurity

Let sleeping dogs lie
Bottle it all up inside
