So long my misery   I don't need you, you've only caused me grief   Forgive me if I fall asleep   I haven't slept in centuries      Daylight lives like a burden for me   So I escape the sennit strewn about the street   Beyond the ruins of my ancestry   Far past the pages of my disbelief   I rose from my moat, like a ghost from a grave   Sunken in the salty eyes of the wanderin' displaced   I was headed through the mists across the golden gate   All of my rebellions fall into the fog of fate      So long my misery   I don't need you, you've only caused me grief   Forgive me if I fall asleep   I haven't slept in centuries      Springtime came again and Icarus fell   I flew past the numb-lipped nuns who never tell   The secrets of the sailors and their seven year spell   I will not fall nor will my wings ever melt   If I could I would wash all these wounds away   I would surround your room with sentiments of grace   I would paint your portrait over everything mundane   More colorful than Easter Sunday      So long my misery.   I don't need you, you've only caused me grief   Forgive me if I fall asleep   I haven't slept in centuries      Put me on a boat, leave my inhibitions at bay   My mind is spilling but I haven't much to say   I was running through the canyons towards the echoes of your name   You were laughing at me like sun laughs at a flame   Put me on a page in a book of beginnings   Let me scroll through old volumes of ancient teachings   Let me revel in all of these forgotten feelings   Lay me with the wretched in the arms of my queen      So long sweet misery   I don't need you, you've only caused me grief   Forgive me if I fall asleep   I haven't slept in centuries      So long sweet misery   I don't need you, you've only caused me grief   Forgive me if I fall asleep   I haven't slept in centuries.   No, I haven't slept in centuries.   I haven't slept in centuries
