lyrics

Come on you'd better hurry along now, the calendar falls like a storm, and in a way it's just a reminder that time is a rhythm not a force.
I've been crawling up this mountain longer than I can recall, and everyday it crosses my mind, the thought of crawling back down to the floor.

But is there a top to stand on or just another slope to tumble down?
Is there any room to stand up or just another slope to tumble down?

The sky doesn't look any closer a thousand feet up in the air, I've always gravitated towards it but always I fall unprepared.

But is there a top to stand on or just another slope to tumble down?
Is there any room to stand up?

I've always known it's true, that somebody's watching you sleep, watching you talk to your dreams.
Each night, you say a little more.
Because somebody's watching you sleep, watching you sleep.

Come on it's never going to be easy, the moments you wait here are wasted.
The air up ahead is refreshing, the road underneath you is tainted.

But is there a top to stand on or just another slope to tumble down?
Is there any room to stand up?

I've always known it's true, that somebody's watching you sleep, watching you talk to your dreams.
Each night, you say a little more.
Because somebody's watching you sleep, watching you sleep.

So don't be surprised when they take your voice away.
Don't be surprised when they take your voice away.
