I just recently learned this song by ear and I think that it is pretty
accurate. Oh, Sleeper really stepped it up with this newer album. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Rest I have not found
They keep coming, keep coming, keep crawling right through my teeth
They keep coming, keep coming, your children I feed off to keep awake
Long enough to meet the next little sheep
Long enough to meet the next to buy every word I preach
Its like I was born to rip the flesh from her bones
Forever stalking streets for the next one
Ive found I can run faster, faster than guilt could ever
Ive found once a man lets virtue aside, he finds sweet what follows
Ive found that I can run faster than guilt could ever
Im bleeding while youre leading for my enemy
How could you really think that I am worth this rescuing?
I wish you to be, I could be, the one who pleases me so much
You to be more than me because I can reach through anything
I wish you to be, I could be, the one who please me so much
You to be, more than me, my arms are reaching
Youre reaching out to a dog thats tasted and turned
Why? Why waste your time when Ive found my strength in another?
Can you see more in me? Can you really see more than just a beast?
Im bleeding so you can be the one who pleases me
Im sorry, but I just cant justify this rescuing
You cant see fairness as your clarity
The better man is what your heart wants to be,
but you rape every trusted chance I bring your way
If justice you seek, in death it should be
I wish you to be, I could be, the one who pleases me so much
You could be more than me because I can reach through anything
I want you to be, to believe, the one who pleases me
Will you? You could be, take me my arms are reaching
I dont want to be the father who has to watch his daughter
Be conned and stripped bare by a monster like me
God, put me to sleep
