Between first sleep and second sleep
I stare into the dark
And I can feel there are two of me
So I put 'em both on the ark
And we'll find out what we're made of
When we're tossing at sea
And no one knows what their fate is
And there are no guarantees
And you know the flood is coming
So you watch the sky for weeks
And you see a bird pass overhead
With something in its beak
And nobody will listen
But then, you forgot to speak
How the hell can anyone listen when you forget to speak?
(It will never be)
You forgot to speak
(It will never be)
You forgot to speak
(It will never be)
Hey (fair)
Between first sleep and second sleep
I stare into the dark
And I can feel there are two of me
So I put 'em both on the ark
And we'll find out what we're made of
When we're tossing at sea
And no one knows what their fate is
And there are no guarantees
A big picture is just clutter
With no space to hang it in
And there's only so much justice
In a world of broken men
You gotta wonder, why begin?
Let alone, begin again
And tell me
How the hell can anybody listen when you forget to speak?
(It will never be)
You for-, you forgot to speak
(It will never be)
You for-, you forgot to speak
(It will never be)
Hey (fair)
