Sleepwalk Lyrics - Singles - Blood Ruby

He works, he sleeps 

He knows his history 

He reads, he dreams 

So much ability 

He drives Northwest 

Up the interstate 

The snow falls slow 

Hypnotic and opaque 

Bright with life, 

He leaves behind 

Endless days 

And longer nights 

His eyes are wide, 

His ears are numb 

Filled with pulsating 

Engine hum 

Don't rush by unseeing 

Through the places 

And the pleasures of the ride 

(Take it all in) 

Don't skim through the pages 

Of the ponderous volume 

That describes your life 

(Don't miss a word) 

Some seek distraction 

Just to pass the time, 

Not entertain 

We sometimes sleepwalk 

Sacrificing joy to numb the pain 

I saw the scene 

I didn't want to see 

Steel, glass, debris 

Stranger, rest in peace 

How could he know 

When he awoke 

That this was the day 

His book would close? 

Have you thrived 

Or just survived 

If this were the day 

You said goodbye? 

Don't rush by unseeing 

Through the places 

And the pleasures of the ride 

(Take it all in) 

Don't skim through the pages 

Of the ponderous volume 

That describes your life 

(Don't miss a word) 

Some seek distraction 

Just to pass the time, 

Not entertain 

We sometimes sleepwalk 

Sacrificing joy to numb the pain 

We sometimes sleepwalk
