gray thomas - the village can't sleep lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
ripping down the road
somewhere near the pyre
you’ll turn to the mirror with grace
and wonder what happened to your fire

it was a liar
one you never knew was there
and he ate up all the embers
’til the night was black
and he never did care

of the damage that he’d do
that boy is gone
and you don’t have long
until you’re all gone too

[chorus]
traded all your comforts
for a traitor by your side
how can you call this happy
when the village can’t sleep at night

the lion only roars when you’re gone
the danger out of sight
hard to justify your bruises
when the village can’t sleep at night
[verse 2]
please direct your attention
to the opinions of your peers
though not always helpful
through your painful years

but this time
consider your perspective
clouds can form inside your eyes
and crystallize your tears into a wall

he’ll keep your mouth shut tight
i won’t be there to stop you
from giving up your life
don’t bleed all night
don’t you have some fight inside

[chorus]
traded all your comforts
for a traitor by your side
how can you call this happy
when the village can’t sleep at night

the lion only roars when you’re gone
the danger out of sight
hard to justify your bruises
when the village can’t sleep at night
[bridge]
say you’ve got a plan
say you know you can
you’ll do it when you land
on your feet
you’ll do it when you
can’t go on

but don’t let him take it all
before you do
too much life
for him to keep

[chorus]
traded all your comforts
for a traitor by your side
how can you call this happy
when the village can’t sleep at night

the lion only roars when you’re gone
the danger out of sight
hard to justify your bruises
deaf to your own cries
