Sleeper Lyrics

Is it okay if I should stay here at home and in my bed?
So warm and dark a womblike ark
So my clothes never get to tight
And my worldview of toys and shoes
can occupy my closed off mind
Reposed and tired trapped in the mire
Muting out the truth that knocks Wake up oh sleeper you know that its time
You know that you've fashioned a monster inside
I'll help you destroy it
You've always been mine
I'm not growing up inside

So close to rope I cleared my throat
Thought I had no chance for life
But hangman's slack my father's back
and calling through my reverie

Wake up oh sleeper you know that its time
You know that you've fashioned a monster inside
I'll help you destroy it
You've always been mine
I'm not growing up inside

I'll help you destroy it

I'm not growing up inside

Give me a window give me light
In the solemn hope I might
Make it to the other side to the other side

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.
