Sleeping Dogs

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
