Statelines Lyrics

Sleep For Sleepers Statelines

[Verse 1]
I've been stretching every word miles apart from each other
I've been starving states while you've been miles away
To the tired eyes conversing in the scenes, they are rehearsing
Have I been begging you to stay?

[Chorus]
You paint my eyes when they are tired
By miles, as far as the eye can see
When I don't know who to believe
When your bones could compare to the places that I've seen
And the states that I've starved will insist on chasing me
It seems I'm begging you to stay

[Verse 2]
And I've been pacing through these rooms statelines apart from each other
And I have starved the air, I have starved myself
Spend the afternoon on the ground
Brighter eyes for every town
Each city is like a disease

[Chorus]
You paint my eyes when they are tired
By miles, as far as the eye can see
When I don't know who to believe
When your bones could compare to the places that I've seen
And the states that I've starved will insist on chasing me
It seems I'm begging you to stay

[Outro]
You paint my eyes when they are tired
By miles, as far as the eye can see
When I don't know who to believe
When your bones could compare to the places that I've seen
And the states that I've starved will insist on chasing me
It seems I'm begging you to stay
Begging you to stay
