Sleep Well Beast Lyrics - The National

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 

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 felt like me 

Offered them some bottled water, then they cut them 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 some day, sleep well beast, you as well beast 

I'll still destroy you some day, sleep well beast, you as well beast 

I'll still destroy you some day, sleep well beast, you as well beast 

I'll still destroy you some day, sleep well beast, you as well beast
