While You Were Sleeping

While you were sleeping, they pushed upon your door

While you were sleeping, they crept along your floor

You counted sheep and fantasised

This dreamless sleep would ever stop the cries

Of a world that spins on selfishness and lies

Such and awful sight, you close your eyes

While you were sleeping they all passed through

You entertained fair-weather friends and pretenders

While you were sleeping they all left you

Without a penny for services rendered

While you were sleeping, they rifled through your draws. While you were sleeping it was no concern of yours

In a world that spins on selfishness and lies

Such an awful sight, you close your eyes

While you were sleeping they all passed through

You entertained fair-weather friends and pretenders

While you were sleeping they all left you

Without a penny for services rendered

Wake up!

The dawn will come today

You'll be climbing out that bed to nothing

Just because you turn away from everything

Doesn't mean to say it isn't happening

While you were sleeping they torched your home

Tore the clothes from off the body you surrendered

While you were sleeping they all left you

Without a penny for services rendered

They tore the clothes from off the body you surrendered

They took your life away and nobody remembered

Just because you turn away from everything

Doesn't mean to say it isn't happening
