Sleep Lyrics

Step in my shoes, wait 'till you see the big flash now
Glued to the sheets, sleep with the sheep all month long
Easy to please, hard to believe it's a tease
Stuck in a rut, don't give a fuck if we're us
Lie in a haze, hope it's a phase and not hate
You know that I know that you know that I know that you know
I want you to kiss me
I want you to kiss me

I try to open my eyes to the days going by
But the trash in everything it keeps me hypnotized
I'm hypnotized
I got the poison in me but it's amplified
Amplified

Step in my shoes, wait 'till you see the big flash now
Lie in a haze, hope it's a phase and not hate
Easy to please, hard to believe it's a tease
You know that I know that you know that I know that you know
I want you to kiss me
I want you to kiss me

I try to open my eyes to the days going by
But the trash in everything it keeps me hypnotized
I'm hypnotized
No TV

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The French version on North 6th Street is excellent.
