Blushing Sleep

from Smile, It's Not That Bad. by Leftmore

/

lyrics

Blushing sleep,
a bride to be
staid in my keep.
You must cull the herd
no matter what you heard,
the weakest of sheep.

Before her eyes open,
I'm breathing thin,
take the knife from its sheath.
I know I mustn't cry.
Keep my eyes dry
for the wolves to see.

The sun and I, we can't decide.
It's day and it's night.
Was it ever love you were thinking of
when you looked into my eyes?
The Sun holds truth like I held you,
so hot that it blinds.
But the truth holds, too, like a Honeymoon.
I'm asleep by its tides.

We laid there still
where the blood was spilled,
losing the heat.
The Sun grows old,
tarnished gold.
Happy Anniversary.

In the moonlight raw,
our shadows draw
slow to the sea
'til our ghosts come one
with the wave
and one with the reef.

The Sun and I, we can't decide.
It's day and it's night.
Was it ever love you were thinking of
when you looked into my eyes?
The Sun holds truth like I held you,
so hot that it blinds.
But the truth holds, too, like a Honeymoon.
I'm asleep by its tides.

Leftmore Denver, Colorado

Leftmore is an indie acoustic rock act from Colorado, started in 2005 by Matthew Shaw and Joe Ziegler. Joe went solo from late in 2009 to early in 2014, one part story-teller, one part emotive melody, and at least one part human. Matt rejoined with Chris Doxtator on drums and Geoff Brent on bass guitar. The lineup now vacillates between the solo, duo, and quartet conditionally based on time-space. ... more
