John Frusciante - Sleep Lyrics






Deep asleep
Need some waking up
Time can't see what he does to us
Shadows fall asleep
Thank you, thank you
Mind and body breathe
Thanks

Bastard son is in my eyes
It takes wholes of lives to see things right
I'm the opening of tides
There is open and there's open from the other side

Intertwined one in another goes
Reassigned souls in flattened time
Sad as we are blind
I love you, I love you
As ifs actual
The pains flows through

Swelling space inside a window
Something's there when "God" and "oh" share height or rate
In the old Encino term
There is one who separates, in between and low as dirt

Living scene
It's what goes up and down
Along a street inner vision only sees
Ahh place me there
I'm with you, I'm with you
Life takes me anywhere
The blues we share
And duration builds its climb
You can count on me to darken light
In the fields of flowers burned
There is one down below, straight beneath who never learns

In a need you peel the self from the bones
I say
Irritate til you're not needed anymore
It's war
Living things have a meaning all their own
Breathing sings to the soul like Marian Anderson

    Jesus this is really good! How can anyone say this is bad? Such great mood shifts between all sections! Reminds me of a futuristic Niandra de lades and usually just a t shirt

    S.... G....

    neurosci guy that’s subjective

  16. M.... B....

    Really? A lot of people think this is bad? I love this album... And this was one of my first songs I got into. Keep doing your thing John, do what satiates your musical appetite.

    C'mon Fantano, it can't be this bad... it is that bad.

    E.... C....

    +Edward Cullen you just dont understand music, same PERFECT song as others

    E.... C....

    Man! Look, this is his new style, and I like it! Okay, not the Peppers, but he is Frusciante, a god and anything he do is a fucking masterpiece, just look at the lyrics and these accords, fucking cool!

  20. Z.... M....

    Mysterious girl misunderstood is this song

  21. R.... e....

    How is that good singing?

    R.... e....

    +Reptile estrin How is that bad singing?

    R.... e....

    +UltraRockSounds hah lol me to and tbh I think it's great.

    R.... e....

    I came here from the review which said the same thinking, i'm a JF fanboy, im gonna try to not like this song, or hear it through the "bad singing" ears.. singing sounds awesome to me, really amazing, i simply dont understand how people can think it's bad? It's different sure but it's on key and i love it.. Fair do's though, to each theit own

    R.... e....

    John can sing however the hell he wants to, you may dislike it but he's self-aware. He's an excellent vocalist, if you think it sounds bad, it's still what he wanted to sound like. And those are good vocals btw.

    R.... e....

    Yeah as someone else said, I don’t get how it’s bad singing. You might not like the melody but thats différent from the singing. He sounds very full and his vibrato is on point.

  22. T.... ....

    this is not a good song.

  23. D.... B....

    This is just ridiculous

    D.... B....

    So go fucking out away man

    D.... B....

    @Swil aN lol

  24. �.... �....

    Шикарная песенка!!!...

  25. E.... E....

    I kinda feel that this song might be about Da Vinci, because he was a bastard son.

    E.... E....

    or about jesus XD technically a bastard as well hahaha

  26. l.... m....

    just amazing

  27. R.... N....

    Very deep and ambiguous almost mystical
