There sat a new test
Much harder that you bought in
As for the unseen, just take care of what you will
Light the silent alarm
We never think that we're missing much 'til
I gasp and hold my breath
These needs have changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for
I need a new test
Then I set out to choose someone to
Light the soul like a kiln
Just imagine us chasing this with
Eyes scorned from sleep apnea
A slight of tongue as the seas are emptying
I gasp and hold my breath
These needs have changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever
Try to read off a letter that's falling apart
The sun and the moon I count sheep
Escape like an animal ready for my sleepless stroll
I found these shifting hours mistakenly used up
So I gasp and hold my breath
These needs have changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for years
I gasp and hold my breath
These needs have changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever
Much harder that you bought in
As for the unseen, just take care of what you will
Light the silent alarm
We never think that we're missing much 'til
I gasp and hold my breath
These needs have changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for
I need a new test
Then I set out to choose someone to
Light the soul like a kiln
Just imagine us chasing this with
Eyes scorned from sleep apnea
A slight of tongue as the seas are emptying
I gasp and hold my breath
These needs have changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever
Try to read off a letter that's falling apart
The sun and the moon I count sheep
Escape like an animal ready for my sleepless stroll
I found these shifting hours mistakenly used up
So I gasp and hold my breath
These needs have changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for years
I gasp and hold my breath
These needs have changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for
Ever
Ever
Ever
Ever

" I GASP AND HOLD MY BREATH " Sounds like the 17+1 pranayama breaths you take in the MERKABA meditation ...
(( Breath 1: place your hands in the following, thumb and first finger together, palms up. Empty lungs. Begin the breath taught above. Nostrils only. On the IN breath visualize red light, open your root chakra, HOLD BREATH , pulse the breath, short inhale. Exhale, slowly out of the nose, fill the upper tetrahedron with red light than the lower. Pause, pulse the eyes. ))
" THESE NEEDS HAVE CHANGED SO DEEP" meaning he no longer feels the physical/ material world is empty and cant give the fulfillment he desires but more of the need to be deeply connected to a higher or spiritual source.
" TO FACE YOU ALL AND SAY IVE BEEN AWAKE FOR YEARS/EVER" that he's been sleeping and finally reached some amount of enlightenment "awake"
practicing this meditation and I've always felt that this song is about this meditation by Drunvalo Melchizedek

Love & light
Much harder that you bought in
As for the unseen
Just take care of what you will
Light the silent alarm
We never think that
We're missing much
Till
I gasp and hold my breath
These needs had changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for years / forever
I need a new test
Then I set out to choose
Someone to
Light the soul like a kiln
Just imagine us chasing this with
Eyes scorned from sleep apnea
A slight of tongue as the seas
Are emptying
Try to read off a letter that's
Falling apart
The sun and the moon
I count sheep
Escape like an animal I'm ready for
My sleepless stroll
I've felt these shifting hours
Mistakenly used up
100% correct, from the booklet in the new album :D
Awesome song
did you say being abducted
by aliens? LMAOROFLWTFLOL
Number one and two are:
1. Letter From A Thief
2. This Circus
3. Sleep Apnea
With A New Momentum running a close fourth.
"light the sun like a kiln"
"then i set out to choose someone"
"the sun and the moon i can't cheat"
"i found these shifting hours mistakenly used up"
It's just that the part where it said the following was exactly like mine (except I said cheat instead of see) on Youtube:
"Try to read off a letter that's falling apart
The sun and the moon I can't see
Escape like an animal
I'm ready for my sleepless stroll"
Like I said tho it doesn't matter since you changed some of it up. :P
so ha...lol
Hopefully my pre-order will come soon. I figure it should've gotten here by now...
I gasp and hold me breath
These needs have chains so deep
To face you all the same
I've been awake for...
Also, in the second verse:
Eyes scorned from sleep apnea
A slight of tongue as the seas are emptied
Same with gone and scorned. Thought about that too.
Guess we'll find out next week.
"'Sleep Apnea' is sort of a, it's kind of a joke how when you're on tour you're always trying to catch up on your sleep. It's just a heavy rock song that I would love to hear on the radio."
