The Sleeping Years Lyrics

well i knew i wouldn't feel the same way as others today
i lift my head and see the sun strokes the failures away
enough of your policy causing the cramps in my hand
i need some energy to jumpstart this morning again

what happened in those years before
i can't find the meaning no more

it seems like a book to me you read it and it's just a tale
so give me the summary ‘cos my concentration will fail
no i won't remind myself forgetting the nonsense i've seen
flick through the empty years stare at a gaping black screen

and i waited
to clean up my wishes like dirty old dishes again
and i hated
to hear your advice and to pay your high price my dear friend
i will make it
without your confusion and pointless conclusion
illusions in the end

it makes no sense to me to heal all the wounds of the past
maybe i'll learn to see a beautiful new day at last
use the ability to leave all the sorrows behind
not my own enemy and don't need these doubts in my mind

and i waited
to clean up my wishes like dirty old dishes again
and i hated
to hear your advice and to pay your high price my dear friend
i will make it
without your confusion and pointless conclusion
illusions in the end

me i'm not the one
who's waiting for the sun
i never left behind the sleeping years
listen to me son
you have to carry on
wake up from the sleeping years

and i waited
to clean up my wishes like dirty old dishes again
and i hated
to hear your advice and to pay your high price my dear friend
i could fake it
to change your decision and mess up your mission pretend
i will make it
without your confusion and pointless conclusion
illusions in the end

me i'm not the one
