The National - Sleep Well Beast lyrics

We've been stuck out here in the
Hallway for way way too long
I'm at a loss, I'm at
A loss, I'm losing grip, the fabric's ripped
Go back to sleep, let me drive, let me think
Let me figure it out
How to get us back to the place where
We were when we first went out

I'll tell you about it some time
The time we left
I'll tell you about it some time
The time we left

Losing parents, losing sense
I don't know what we should do
Became a father when I was still a son
She brings it out in you
See you at the end of the
Party with your wild white eyes
And filling up the teacup with gin
In your secret postcard life

I'll tell you about it some time
The time we left
I'll tell you about it some time
The time we left
I'll tell you about it some time
The time we left
I'll tell you about it some time
The time we left

We leave our saviors wrapped around
The necks of new machines
Or at the ends of threads that
Hold their bodies to the ground
And then the men who look a
Little like they feel like me
Offered them some bottled water
Then they cut 'em down
I came back to see if you were here
But everything was different
Your voice was low, you blended in
I could barely hear you speak
You were always my last second
Bright spot in the distance
Thought that you were something good
That I would always keep

I'll still destroy you someday, sleep
Well, beast you as well, beast
I'll still destroy you someday, sleep
Well, beast you as well, beast
I'll still destroy you someday, sleep
Well, beast you as well, beast
I'll still destroy you someday, sleep
Well, beast you as well, beast
