Electric President - Ether lyrics

While you slept it off Your empire was lost Now we're not your sons Your old silver tongue It don't work too well now We wandered off With our heads nice and soft But we were still numb And we burned in the sun And got torn to pieces I walked across from eyes And scratched my name into the sky The things beneath my floorboards fly I'll never let them out And all my teeth are down at my feet And all of the blood comes in a flood Start counting sheep Then I fall asleep again And by myself I'm wondering A forest made of skeletons Of people I once knew And all their spines are perfectly aligned Like cold power lines My feet left the ground And I floated off and got lost Now this ain't my home There's no warmth in these bones Just a mock up to help me pretend I'm sleeping While we slept it off All the money was lost Now we can't stand up Yeah, the blood in our guts It just weighs us down now We'll crawl along Despite what goes wrong 'cause we're not that young Takes more than your guns to scare us off now My feet left the ground And I floated off and got lost Now my house is far below It's buried in snow And I can't see my footprints anymore; they're too small I drift through the clouds with my heart in my mouth I'm not stopping Now the Earth is far behind I'm lost in the sky with my eyes closed I'm just waiting for my air to run out
