Anybody else's new favorite song by Dallas? This song is his best work...I haven't stopped listening to it since I found it on myspace.

Does anybody have a full set of lyrics? And it's awesome that he has the singer from Tragically Hip doing vocals. This song sends chills through my whole body.

i really think he should have done all the vox himself

"The Sleeping Sickness"

I awoke
Only to find my lungs empty
And through the night
So it seems I'm not breathing
And now my dreams are nothing like they were meant to be
And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down

And I'm afraid
To sleep because of what haunts me
Such as living with the uncertainty
That I'll never find the words to say
That would completely explain
Just how I'm breaking

[Chorus]
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Maybe I'll sleep when I am dead
But now it's like the night is taking sides
With all the worries that occupy the back of my mind
Could it be this misery will suffice?

[Gordon Downie]
I've become
A simple souvenir of someone's kill
And like the sea
I'm constantly changing from calm to hell
Madness fills my heart and soul as if the great divide could swallow me whole
oh, how I'm breaking down

[Chorus]
oooohhh my life

Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life (save my life)
Someone come and, someone come and save my life
Could it be this misery will suffice?

I'm constantly changing from calm to ill

I personally don't know what he says, it could be hell, ill, or something else.

Hell makes the most sense to me though.

btw guys, i realised

And I'm afraid
To sleep because of what haunts me
Such as living with the uncertainty
That I'll never find the words to say
WHICH would completely explain
Just how I'm breaking DOWN

Absolutely amazing song all around!
Though I honestly don't think I could pick a FAVORITE City and Colour tune. Maybe......after A LOT of thought , I could narrow it down to a few, haha!
Maybe.


Anyway, this song is STUNNING, and Gord Downie is the icing on an already fabulous cake! ;)

LOL i was actually right
