Sleepless

Another night and sleep escapes me
Cling to my pillow like a bride
I pass the time closing corners of my mind and I have something there to hide

Oh sin, oh sin
It leaves me here without
And hallowed out within
Oh sin, oh sin
Like a fool to his folly
I keep coming back, again

And His children all are sleepless
Inventing their excuses why
We play the game, dividing up the blame against our Father’s own reply

Oh sin (oh sin), oh sin (oh sin)
It leaves all without
And hallowed out within
Oh sin (oh sin), oh sin (oh sin)
Like a fool to his folly
You keep coming back again

And it leaves you far from home
It’s a bright and burning fire that leaves you cold as stone
Makes you everybody’s friend
Leaves you desperately alone
It’s a price too high to, pay

Turn off the news and try to sleep now
Because I’m losing track of shooting sprees
And I can’t abide another symptom analyzed
When it’s all the same disease

Oh sin, oh sin
It leaves us here without
And, hallowed out within
Oh sin, oh sin
Like a fool to his folly
We keep coming back again
Oh sin, oh sin
Like a fool to his folly
We keep coming back coming back coming back, again
And again
We keep coming back again
Back
And we ride, ride, ride
And now it leaves us empty
To a love that leaves us hallow and here without, here without
Hollowed out again
We keep coming back again and again, and again
Oh do we ride
Why do we, follow
Follow
Why do we keep coming back again
Yeah we keep coming back
Yeah we keep coming back
Yeah we keep coming back again
Back again
Why
Why
We’re all like sheep and gone astray
We just turn and go his own way
Why

We confess
Just confess
Amen
