Sleeping At Last - Porcelain Lyrics
The door broke when you slammed it shut,
and the cracks kept reaching long after you left.
through the floorboards, branching towards the hall,
like vines that never rest...
climbing like fire through the walls.
I know, I know... it's all for the best.
but honestly, I would rather be
safe from a distance than here...
when I fell to my knees
to sew the damage shut,
I couldn't believe...
a bright, staggering light
came flooding into me
from out of the seams.
so I reached deeper in
and pulled my whole world wide open,
and for each broken mile, a billion
miracles happen at once
in everything... in everything.
but I'm safe from a distance, right here.
everything I love
was made of porcelain,
ready to break.
but the bright, staggering light,
it anxiously waits inside.
like nesting dolls, the secret hides.
and like every birth,
it was a necessary pain...
I know, I know...
it's all worth the wait, worth the weight.

Sleeping At Last Porcelain Comments
Went to see "Loving Vincent" last night, and can't stop replaying this song since then. It's always been one of my favourites but it fits the atmosphere of that movie so well that it makes me love it even more.
Everything I love was made of porcelain, ready to break.....
Love that part
this song comes to me on time.
does anyone have any idea how i could find the proper tabs for this songs? or even just the chords? chordify doesnt sound correct at all
My neighborhood is full of trees and green and today it rained with the sky not as dark as usual during heavy rainfall. The combination of serenity and nature lead me to think of this song. It was absolutely beautiful (song and surroundings)
i watched these guys in churches and local venues growing up!! so glad to see them doing great things!!
myca otsuka same
the lyrics! the LYRICS!
I was hooked when i heard turning page... Every song they sing sounds like wedding vows or a wedding song/happy beautiful ending to life. Absolutely love and adore them.
His voice is like an angel's
DAMN. HIS VOICE.
So beautiful
check out Lovedrug (y)
what ?! how can they not be more popular ?! this is just awesome !!
The song, the lyrics, the notes, the rythem, the sounds, the words....just PERFECT!!!!!!!
Haunting.
Unique and beautiful.
His name is Ryan O'Neal :P
Love it!!!!
Divine...
So beautiful.
Thank you for sharing this!
@aekbranding om gosh i now how you feel there incredible i'm speechless once again
@stargonz so true - i literally have four playlists to suit my moods.
so many peeps diss twilight but had not for those movies i'd never have discovered these artists ... it just seems inadequate to call sleeping at last a band.
the first song i ever heard from them a in an instant became the background music to my world :D
is there someone who can explain me the lyrics? 'cause I don't understand some sentences, "safe from a distance"? what does that mean, which distance and from what? and "it's all worth the wait, worth the weight." what does the writer mean with waiting, and weighting? I'd really like to know. great song by the way, I love it :3
@TouchdownProductions Like if you're an awesome person watching this because you simply love this band's music!
LIKE IF YOU'RE A HIPSTER WATCHING THIS!!!
Everytime I LOVE the music that's on the OST of the Twilight Movies. Discovered so many AWESOME artists that I now can't imagine out of my life anymore. Same with Sleeping at Last <3 Their music is amazing and gives me a feeling (in a good way!) that I can't even describe very well.. But I love it and I think everyone should hear their music! <3 *_____*
His voice makes me feel like i'm floating in the air :O
i have to admit I am here because of Breaking Dawn. thanks to it i have discovered nice artists. Can't wait to discover more next year with the enxt soundtrack
5000+ views since it was announced it would be in Breaking Dawn :3
This song just touches my heart. I can't explain it, it just runs through my body. Such a break-taking voice.
I was here b4 breaking dawn.
i love it!
@gotfangs13 as far as i know storyboard is their 3rd album. Ghosts was their debut n Keep No Score their second both excellent albums
These lyrics are brilliant...!! Thank you, Humbolt County for the introduction!...One of the best things i can say about 2010. (aka: the worst year of my life).
..."when i fell to my knees, to sow the damage shut, i couldn't believe...a bright staggering light came flooding into me from out of the scenes..."
But life every birth it was a necessary pain. i know i know it's all worth the weight...worth the wait. <3recycle it.
Cool... Glad you know their names. Would have been great to see all of them together as a band, unfortunately my school hosted TWLOHA, not sleeping at last. It was a great way to become exposed to them though. The front row spot helped too cause the mic cut in and out a lot.
so i only got to see adam (the singer, he was at a TWLOHA event i went to) but i was hooked after one song! they are so genuine and he has such a real talent, can't believe i never heard of them before.
this is just absolutely gorgeous!
@idontcare009 ok. Itll be our little secret
how does this only have 3669 views? its to good to be unheard
