Kris Delmhorst - Sleeping Dogs lyrics

I'm so tired of not moving, my skin is stiff and sore And I'm so tired of not looking at that thing that we ignore And I'm so nervous that you'll see me seeing if you turn your face anymore And I'm so careful to keep your secrets, what do I do this for Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is on the rise And it's time to open up those blinds and let it shine On those sleeping dogs you let lie I always wondered where you got the notion that your silence does not hurt Cause I can see the truth when you lean over, it's in the pocket of your shirt And unspoken might feel like mercy but all it means is there's things you've never said It only means I have no way of knowing if it's all in my head Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is in the sky And it's time to open up those blinds and let it shine On those sleeping dogs you let lie And you know why And for a long time I don't think you ever really knew about the state I was in And I guess that would be my fault, cause all I ever showed you was skin But now you got that x-ray close-up, you got that microscope to my gut And that is not a one-way offer so I'll tell you what Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is high in the sky And I'm here to open up those blinds and let it shine You may be sleeping soundly but I will not let you lie
