  • At the age of sixteen
    I grew out of hope
    I regarded the cosmos
    Through a circle of rope
    So I threw out my plans
    Ran on to the wheel
    And emptied my head
    Of all childish ideals

    The sleep of no feeling
    The sleep of no being
    The sleep of no dreaming
    The sleep of no dreaming

    I married the first girl
    Who wasn't a man
    And smiled as the spiders
    Ran all over my hands

    The sleep of no feeling
    The sleep of no being
    The sleep of no dreaming
    The sleep of no dreaming

    Made a good living
    By dying it's true
    As the world in my TV
    Leaked onto my shoes

    The sleep of no feeling
    The sleep of no being
    The sleep of no dreaming
    The sleep of no dreaming

    The sleep of no feeling
    The sleep of no being
    The sleep of no dreaming
    The sleep of no dreaming Writer/s: Steven John Wilson
