Drowning In My Sleep Lyrics

Oh I wished I'd never prayed for rain Sometimes you wish so hard for something Until you wished it never came There goes another miracle explained When all the mystery has vanished Only history remains I'm drowning in my sleep Every time I try to speak Words jump overboard and silence drags me down Another dream admits defeat And leaves it's wreckage on the reef Who wants survivors with our language run aground What did you expect? Beneath the mustard gas and roses And the ruins of neglect Oh it's just the science of the flesh Another species bound for trouble Another unpaid debt I'm drowning in my sleep Every time I try to speak Words jump overboard and silence drags me down Another dream admits defeat And leaves it's wreckage on the reef Who wants survivors with our language run aground My head's above the water But my arms are getting weak The tide keeps getting stronger And now I'm drowning in my sleep
