Mean Sleep Lyrics - Singles - Cree Summer

What can we scrape together with just the flesh as evidence 

Handfuls of hate and the bittersweet ambivalence 

'Cause I am pushing cobwebs and I'm folding into myself 

Who will find me under this mean sleep 

How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain 

How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change 

I had a mean sleep over you 

And it hurts coming back to life 

You could burn a thousand days and I would need no other light 

You could die a thousand ways and I'd still love you back to life 

But my needs rising angry and my loneliness like quicksand 

Who will find me under this mean sleep 

How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain 

How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change 

I had a mean sleep over you 

And it hurts coming back to life 

I had a mean sleep over you 

And it hurts coming back to life 

I am lost to the longing, I am moulded by the memory 

Had shut down half my mind just to steal the space you left behind 

'Cause I am pushing cobwebs and I'm folding into myself 

Who will find me under this mean sleep 

How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain? 

How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change? 

I had a mean sleep over you 

And it hurts coming back to life 

I had a mean sleep over you 

And it hurts coming back to life 

I had a mean sleep over you 

And it hurts coming back to life
