Dean Omori - How Can You Sleep

I spoke for the world and they denied me
But they discussed the curl of my hair
He who saved the great lakes died of cancer
And I don't suppose justice has ever been fair
The last thing we love is the first thing we kill
The snow once fell clean and purled
She said make love to me like you mean it
Before you take us all to the end of the world
How can you sleep
How can you sleep
How can you sleep
In a place I found a great beauty
Where they built the things nobody needs
They stole it until there was nothing
I am the poet I speak for the trees
Once I gave my children a rainbow
They were blind to it looking for gold
We once thought those big bombs would kill us
Man you keep taking us to the end of the world
How can you sleep
How can you sleep
How can you sleep
We're guilty of our own self-importance
They got theirs she got hers he got his
Seas will rise mountains will roar
Trees shall fall that have stood a thousand years
As the last witness is silenced
Our destiny DNA is uncurled
We'll drag everything down with us when we go
You keep taking us to the end of the world
How can you sleep
How can you sleep
How can you sleep
