lyrics

jhimm, written 2006

closed eyes, open mind
who can pass - this test of time
everything is so hard to find
brand my skin - don't hide my crime
the meek get by they flow like water
into the mill - of yesterday
everyday the task gets harder
on their endless - bed of nails i lay

sleeping beauty has turned to dust
waiting for - prince charming's kiss
life is something you just can't trust
as it sneaks off into the abyss

house is clean and laid in order
its coming back worse now seven fold
don't know when i'll reach the end
of this straight and narrow road
house is clean and laid in order
its coming back worse now seven fold
the house is empty and swept out
coming home again

don't waste precious time
on the past - or what's been done
focus on the contentment
of that - which is to come
i'm losing sleep but always dreaming
as clouds of time - cover up my face
heaven hangs just out of reach
the sunset a riot - of smoke and flame

sleeping beauty has turned to dust
waiting for - prince charming's kiss
life is something you just can't trust
as it sneaks off into the abyss

house is clean and laid in order
its coming back worse now seven fold
don't know when i'll reach the end
of this straight and narrow road
house is clean and laid in order
its coming back worse now seven fold
the house is empty and swept out
coming home again

after a few fits and starts attempting to include a handful of other musicians, jhimm and dave decided to stick to the power duo approach, and (lisp) was born. ... more
