The Ones

Would you believe me if I told the reasons why

You can't rest, and drink yourself to sleep at night?

Not like it matters, you can't escape, don't even try

We speak what no one knows

(Oh, I've got to get to sleep)

You lie awake and you hope it's all in your head

You're counting teeth with your tongue, are they all there?

There's no relief in the dark from what isn't there

But you don't feel alone

We are the ones you should be fearing

Come in the night and take your teeth away

Now sew up your mouth, and go to sleep, 'cause

We'll be there soon to break your heart and spite your face

Now they're finally here and you know what they're looking for

With their empty grins they proceed in taking what you owe

And you move your lips, but the words, they just fall to the floor

So this is how it ends

Crawl to the mirror and see all that you've become

A grim reflection of all the things that you have done

You try to weep, but no tears have or will ever come

So this is who you are

We are the ones you should be fearing

Come in the night and take your teeth away

Now sew up your mouth and go to sleep, 'cause

We'll be there soon to break your heart and spite your face

All the stars will burn out sometime

We hang by our own rope

All the stars will burn out sometime

We suffer from inward growth

We are the ones you should be fearing

Coming in the night and take your teeth away

Now sew up your mouth and go to sleep, cause

We'll be there soon to break your heart and spite your faith
