Smile In Your Sleep Lyrics
When I'm lying in your bed
Play the motions through my head
You know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking...
And I have reasons to believe
That I'm not the only one you spend this time with
But I'll stay...
[Chorus]
You say, you're weak,
you wont let me down
you lie through your teeth
you smile in your sleep
When we met you said we were the same
You know that we're different, we're different,
And all the times you promised me that everything would
work out in the end, you were gravely mistaken
[Chorus]
You lie, you lie through your teeth
you wont let me down, you lie
I deserve better than this
I dream of steel.
Maroon and warm, your end.
You gasp for air. I'll see this through,
I'll see through you, your pale blue eyes.
When you're lying in your bed, your eulogy's been read
You know that it's fitting, you lie.
[Chorus]
You smile, I deserve better than this
Play the motions through my head
You know that I'm thinking, I'm thinking...
And I have reasons to believe
That I'm not the only one you spend this time with
But I'll stay...
You say, you're weak,
you wont let me down
you lie through your teeth
you smile in your sleep
You know that we're different, we're different,
And all the times you promised me that everything would
work out in the end, you were gravely mistaken
you wont let me down, you lie
I deserve better than this
I dream of steel.
Maroon and warm, your end.
You gasp for air. I'll see this through,
I'll see through you, your pale blue eyes.
You know that it's fitting, you lie.

To quote the band.. "The song, Smile In Your Sleep is a dark song about jealousy, deception and ultimately murder."
To me, the narrator of this song becomes so heartbroken by his lover that he eventually kills him / her, thus the metaphor of 'smiling in their sleep'.
she promises him that she would never cheat on him but yet he knows that she is. She sweetened him with words to make him stay, saying they were the same and were meant to but, but she was wrong, he dreams of killing her in his sleep with a knife, her blood red and warm, she is in her death bed and finally got what she deserved for lying and cheating
He actually said the following about this song - "First time we went to the UK, I was super jet lagged and I crashed out in my bunk. Slept for like 14 hours and had the most fucked up dreams. Woke up and I had no idea where I was and I literally thought I had murdered someone. Wrote the song about that."
First song from the new album, available for listen on purevolume. These guys have really come along since their last album, you can feel heaps more energy and emotion in the song.
the new album rocks, going to buy it as soon as it comes out :D
I totally agree L-Kyne. They definitely have built up their music with quite a bit more emotion, and melody seems to be playing a new part in their upcoming album.
awesome song, the rest of the album is much much better. definitely buying it when it retails
COME ON GUYS!!!! where are lyrics for the rest of the new album? im dying for them...lol
This song is just really fucking great. Silverstein's new album is awesome and there music has definitely matured since the last album.
to correct the lyrics:
when i'm lying in your bed, play the motions through my head. You know that i'm tihnking, i'm thinking...and i have reasons to believe that im not the only one you spend this time with, but i'll stay. (chorus) You say you're weak, you won't let me down, you won't let me down. You lie through your teeth, you smile in your sleep, you smile in your sleep.
When we met you said we were the same. You know that we're different, we're different. And all the times you promised me that everything would work out in the end, you were gravely mistaken.
You lie, you lie, you lie, you lie through your teeth, you won't let me down, you lie, i deserve better then this! i dream of steel, maroon and warm, your end. You gasp for air, i'll see this through, i'll see through you, your pale blue eyes.
