Sleep Recital

Below are lyrics to all the songs from our debut, self-titled album.

"Other Than Myself"

I dreamt my brain was on a plane
Flying far away
To remove these repetitive thoughts
And all of the insane
That way it would come back home to me
With a sense of renew and a sense of peace
And hold out its hand and hand to me
A bottle of pills and some therapy

I dreamt that I could be someone
Other than myself...

I want that feeling that you get
When you are trapped but escape from it
I want that feeling to belong
Not here for now and simply gone
I want this feeling just to last
Not here for now and quickly pass
I think I’m asking too much
I think I’m asking too much

I guess I want to be someone
Other than myself...

"Push Me"

I try to fix this puzzle but I can’t find any pieces,
We walk around like dogs upon our human leashes.
I don’t know just where to go, I don’t want to remember
Push it away to hide inside until next November

You can push me over, push me over...

Suffocating want, choking out desire
Time it takes away the oxygen from the fire.
Burning like a candle that is almost out of wax
Finally catching up with me for all my past due tax.

You can push me over, push me over...

There’s no need to push me cuz I’ve already fallen
There’s no need to push me cuz I’ve already fallen
You can see how easily I fall.
You can see how easily I fall.

You can take whatever you want
You can take whatever it is you need.
You can take whatever you want
You can take whatever it is you need.

You can push me over, push me over...

"A House"

There was a house once full of love unspoken
But that house is gone.
And they’ve moved on, yes they’ve moved on.

And gone to waste and through this silence fades,
Are the memories of brighter days.
The walls were caving in from the heavy effects of sin,
The effects of sin.

And who’s to say it will stay this way?
But where do we begin to change?

But now we walk alone, now we walk alone...

It’s a fear, such a stupid fear.
Something we will all regret, but it’s a part of us.
Such a part we won’t forget
And that’s why it will never change,
It will always stay this way, always.

And now we walk alone, now we walk alone...
Maybe it’s just I can’t stand
To feel the hand of reprimand
Maybe I just don’t want to remember you.
Maybe every day I try to forget your face
Forget your eyes
Trying hard just not to remember you.

But there’s something inside that wants it to change,
But wants it to be the same.

But now we walk alone, now we walk alone...

A house once full of love unspoken
But that house is gone.
And they’ve moved on, yes they’ve moved on.

"Living the Inevitable"

I guess I miss you more than I...
I wear this mask, clever disguise
To make you think that everything is ok.

But now I have this boat to row
These holes inside this heavy load
You never told me that it’d be this way

Help me row this old boat...

I only try to be my best
Although my life’s become this mess
I just can’t find the key to fit this lock

I try to wrap my head around my brain
And realize I’m insane
It’s like trying to tell the time with a broken clock

Insanity has become a fad
And slowly but surely I’m like my dad
I guess it’s just the way it’s supposed to be.
I thought one day I’d be on top of the world
Unstoppable
I thought one day I’d be on top of the world
Unstoppable

Help me row...
Help me row...

It’s my life in my hands, and you take what I have
You can be what you may, you can’t be who I am.

"Summation of a Generation"

Everyone, everywhere getting wasted
Doing tasteless blended faces,
Blended looks different places.

They’re all the same, a different aim
But unoriginal, going digital
Wanting more but doing less,
When looking good is to look a mess.

Taking less to undress,
Starting young this search for fun
Finding love every night
On a stage at first sight.

The wannabees, the scooping V’s
The dreaded hair, to say you’re there
This is it that’s all they have...

Caffeine looks from the stolen books
And the magazines hypnotizing the teens
And the wives whose empty lives
Will be cured by where they sleep, by what they drive.

The wannabees, the scooping V’s
The dreaded hair, to say you’re there
This is it that’s all they have...

"You Know"

You know the pretty will die right beside the ugly
Mixing the bones in with the dust,
Wearing the metal into rust.

And the rest of them it flakes
And spreads across the lakes,
And flows into the sea and disappears.

You know the pretty will die right beside the ugly
But oh, if I could just get a little piece of it now.

I know what you mean when you say
That I just don’t feel anything...

You know the poor will die right beside the money
Ending up to be worth the same,
Vanishing right under their name.

And the rest of them it fades
And spreads across the streets,
And melts away like sleet and disappears.

All of this can go away, if you hide yourself away.
All of this can go away, if you hide yourself away.

I know what you mean when you say
That I just don’t feel anything...

"Learning to Dance"

I walk along these lonely streets
The cracks that run beneath my feet
Are filled with all the memories
Of those much less than celebrity

You know they all just seem the same
Playing all their twisted games
Its hard to simply just relate
To anything they do or say

I couldn't find the time
No I couldn't find the time to make them mine

You slowly learn to dance
Slowly learn to dance
Slowly learn to dance

They have to make so many beds
And fill so many empty heads
With resumes, exaggerations
Looking for the next elation

Following the same cliches
This unrequited search for fame
Lifted up, chemically enhanced
The ever changing feet of the dance
I couldn't find the time
I couldn't find the time to make them mine

I just never ever learned to dance like them
I just never ever learned to dance like them

I couldn't find the time
I couldn't find the time to make them mine
