Dennen, Brett - So Long Sweet Misery Lyrics






So Long, my misery
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries

Daylight lives like a burden for me
so I escape
sent it strewn about the street
beyond the ruins of my ancestry
far past the pages of my disbelief
I rose from my moat
like a ghost from a grave
sunken in the salty eyes of the wandering displaced
I was heading through the mist across the golden gate
all of my rebellions fall into the fog of fate

So long my misery
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries

Spring time came again
and Icarus fell
I flew past the numb lipped nuns who'll never tell
the secrets of the sailors and their 7 year spell
I will not fall, nor will my wings ever melt
if I could I would wash all these wounds away
I would surround your room with a sense of mental grace
I would paint your portrait over everything mundane
more colorful than Easter Sunday

so long my misery
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries

put me on a boat
leave my inhibitions at bay
my mind is spilling
but I haven't much to say
I was running through the canyons
pulse the echoes of your name
you were laughing at me like
the sun laughs at a flame
put me on a page in a book of beginnings
let me scroll me through old volumes of ancient teachings
let me reveal in all of these forgotten feelings
lay me with the wretched in the arms of my queen

so long sweet misery
I don't need you
you've only caused me grief
forgive me if I fall asleep
I haven't slept in centuries
[x2]
no I haven't slept in centuries
I haven't slept in centuries

    LYRICS

    So long my misery
    I don't need you, you've only caused me grief
    Forgive me if I fall asleep
    I haven't slept in centuries

    Daylight lives like a burden for me
    So I escape the sins strewn about the streets
    Beyond the ruins of my ancestry
    Five pairs of pages of my disbelief

    I rose from my moat like a ghost from a grave
    Sunken in the salty eyes of the wandering into space
    I was heading though the mists across the Golden Gate
    All of my rebellions fall in to the falling fate

    So long my misery
    I don't need you, you have only caused me grief
    Forgive me if I fall asleep
    I haven't slept in centuries

    Springtime came again and it caressed and fell
    I flew past the numb lib nuns who never tell
    The secrets of the sailors and their seven years spell
    I will not fall, nor will my wings ever melt

    If I could, I would wash all these wounds away
    I would surround your room with a sinner mans grace
    I would paint your portrait over everything mundane
    More colorful than Easter Sunday

    So long my misery
    I don't need you, you have only caused me grief
    Forgive me if I fall asleep
    I haven't slept in centuries

    Put me on a boat and lead my inhibitions at bay
    My mind is spinning but I haven't much to say
    I was running through the canyons
    The echoes of your name
    You were laughing at me like the sun laughs at the flames

    Put me on a page in a book of beginnings
    Let me scroll through old volumes of age and teachings
    Let me revel all of these forgotten feelings
    Lay me with the wretches in the arms of my queen

    So long sweet misery
    I don't need you, you've only caused me grief
    Forgive me if I fall asleep
    I haven't slept in centuries

    So long sweet misery
    I don't need you, you've only caused me grief
    Forgive me if I fall asleep
    I haven't slept in centuries
    No, I haven't slept in centuries
    I haven't slept in centuries

    So Long, my misery
    I don't need you
    you've only caused me grief
    forgive me if I fall asleep
    I haven't slept in centuries

    Daylight lives like a burden for me
    so I escape
    sent it strewn about the street
    beyond the ruins of my ancestry
    far past the pages of my disbelief

    sunken in the salty eyes of the wandering displaced
    I was heading through the mist across the golden gate
    all of my rebellions fall into the fog of fate

    So long my misery
    I don't need you
    you've only caused me grief
    forgive me if I fall asleep
    I haven't slept in centuries

    Spring time came again
