Cree Summer, Lenny Kravitz - Mean Sleep lyrics

What can we scrape together
With just the flesh as evidence?
Handfuls of hate
And the bittersweet ambivalence

Cause I am pushing cobwebs
And I'm folding into myself

Who will find me under this mean sleep?

How could the clouds tease us
Into thinking it might rain?
How could the need deceive us
Into thinking things might change?

I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts hurts coming back to life

You could burn a thousand days
And I would need no other light
You could die a thousand ways
And I'd still love you back to life

But my needs rising angry
And my loneliness like quicksand

Who will find me under this mean sleep?

How could the clouds tease us
Into thinking it might rain?
How could the need deceive us
Into thinking things might change?

I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts hurts coming back to life

I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts hurts coming back to life

I am lost to the longing
I am moulded by the memory

Had to shut down half my mind

Just to still the space you left behind

Cause I am pushin' cobwebs
And I'm folding into myself

Who will find me under this mean sleep?

How could the clouds tease us
Into thinking it might rain?
How could the need deceive us
Into thinking things might change?

I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts hurts coming back to life

Coming back to life

I had a mean sleep

I had a mean, mean sleep over you

I had a mean sleep

And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

Coming back to life

I had a mean, mean sleep over you

I had a mean sleep

And it hurts hurts coming back to life

Coming back to life, yeah
