Driver Friendly - Twenty Centuries of Sleep lyrics

[Verse 1] The city's hungry I can feel it in the heat My stomach's empty I feel it in my teeth Heard your voice last night in my sleep A silhouette of a memory I wish I didn't keep When the nightmare's over All that's left behind Are the same words on repeat: Carry on, carry on, carry on [Chorus] Our best laid plans Are never in our hands Caught up, cast away Like curses in the wind Search a waste of desert sand Caught up, cast away Like curses in the wind [Verse 2] I feel the weight of a legacy It's bearing down on me Your voice is haunting me All the time it sings Same words at night in my sleep Same words on repeat It carries on for centuries I watch the future unfold and truth be told It caught me clean off guard Things fall apart, the center cannot hold Twenty centuries of sleep With our backs against the wall We're not caving in Let the tide meet the shoreline We can drink it all in
