Invisible, Inviting Vision Linger.
This Swirl Of Smoke Looks LIke Her Slender Body.
I See Everything In Frames Now. Golden Gilded.
Rippled Edges Wave Goodnight.
Lightsleeper. What's Keeping You From Waking?
This Shallow Stare Has Said It All.
Your Cold Dark Face Reminds Me Of The Night We Learned To Smoke.
Fireflies At Our Lips.
Thirty Seven Years Until I Show My Face Again.
Steal This Moment. Make It Worth Saving.
Choke Down The Clouds That Cloud Your Head Now.
It Would Make My Gloomy Day.
Whoever You Are You've Stayed Far Away For Too Long.
The Clocks Are Flipping On Their Backs.
Don't Stay Too Late. I'll Fizzle And Fade.
A Statue Of Stoned Beliefs.
A Monument To Monumental Dying Thoughts.
Let The Currents Take Us Where They Will.
From This Hill I Can See The World Unfold Before Me.
I'm Brooding Over Broken Nights.
I Break Each Sentence Like A Limb.
This Is My Exit.
I Storm Out Stage Left.
It'll Feel Like I Left You So Long Ago.
These Arms Will Bleed. I'll Be Waiting.
I'll Be Waiting With Wishful Elation.
Lightsleeper, You Could Make My Gloomy Day.
Make This Moment Worth Saving.
This Swirl Of Smoke Looks LIke Her Slender Body.
I See Everything In Frames Now. Golden Gilded.
Rippled Edges Wave Goodnight.
Lightsleeper. What's Keeping You From Waking?
This Shallow Stare Has Said It All.
Your Cold Dark Face Reminds Me Of The Night We Learned To Smoke.
Fireflies At Our Lips.
Thirty Seven Years Until I Show My Face Again.
Steal This Moment. Make It Worth Saving.
Choke Down The Clouds That Cloud Your Head Now.
It Would Make My Gloomy Day.
Whoever You Are You've Stayed Far Away For Too Long.
The Clocks Are Flipping On Their Backs.
Don't Stay Too Late. I'll Fizzle And Fade.
A Statue Of Stoned Beliefs.
A Monument To Monumental Dying Thoughts.
Let The Currents Take Us Where They Will.
From This Hill I Can See The World Unfold Before Me.
I'm Brooding Over Broken Nights.
I Break Each Sentence Like A Limb.
This Is My Exit.
I Storm Out Stage Left.
It'll Feel Like I Left You So Long Ago.
These Arms Will Bleed. I'll Be Waiting.
I'll Be Waiting With Wishful Elation.
Lightsleeper, You Could Make My Gloomy Day.
Make This Moment Worth Saving.

Is this song about having one night with this beautiful girl. How he needs to make this night last, because it will never happen again. She has been avoiding him and if she will try and be happy for one night then he will feel better? They have their night together and all to soon it is over and he wants to save something from it, because when she leaves he will be depressed and blame himself for her not being with him. The whole lightsleeper confuses me though...please someone explain this song to me. I really adore it.
"Your cold dark face reminds me of the night we learned to smoke, fireflies at our lips" a very beautifully poetic line but is he reflecting over her dead body of the many memories they shared?
"Thirty-seven years until I show my face again, steal this moment, make it worth saving." Either a reference to a jail sentence or his going into hiding after the action. So he takes this opportunity, as it will be the last action he takes before he must leave and remembers every second of the last moments of his dying love.
"Light sleeper, what keeps you from waking?" as he hovers over her bed in the dark...
"The clocks are flipping on their backs" a metaphor for the death of time, the end of a life, her time is up.
"I'm brooding over broken nights, I break each sentence like a limb, like a limb" as he hacks apart the pieces to her body.
The song closes with him screaming in a violent fit, maybe the actual thrust of the knife into her body. This might be a really twisted interpretation of a beautiful song, like I said I've listened to this song for years and this only just occurred to me.
