Let Me Sleep (Next To The Mirror)

I woke up first this morning
Ive never seen the dawn
But I know what the world
Looked like before

How would I know what you said?
Youre always first to go to bed
Youre intent on sleeping it off

Let me sleep next to the mirror
I know you dont like mirrors
When they reflect on you

For every word that you write
They wont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)
With every word that you write
They dont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)

For every word that you write
It wont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)
For every word that you write
They wont mean much when they barricade, yeah eh

Im sure that youll be fine
Ten more years of this
It will nearly be time
Im sure that youll be fine
It cant take ten more years

You woke up first this morning
You told me that
You had a bad dream
Like one never before

What was in it?
My reflection showed
That Im far too critical

Let me sleep next to the mirror
Dont tell me that you dont like mirrors
Dont tell me that you dont like
Looking right through your own reflection

For every word that I write
They wont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)
For every word that you write
They dont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)

For every word that you write
It dont mean much as barricades
(They hold me down)
With every word that you write
It's so much for a barricade

Im sure that youll be fine
Ten more years of this
It will nearly be time
Im sure that youll be fine
But it cant take ten more years
