Sleep apnea lyrics - Chevelle song

There sat a new test
Much harder that you bought in
As for the unseen
Just take care of what you will
Light the silent alarm
We never think that
We're missing much
Till

I gasp and hold my breath
These needs had changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for. . .

I need a new test
Then I sat out to choose
Someone to
Light the soul like a kiln
Just imagine us chasing this with
Eyes scorned from sleep apnea
A slight of tongue as the seas
Are emptying

I gasp and hold my breath
These needs had changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for. . . Ever. . . Ever. . . Ever. . Ever. . .

Try to read off a letter that's
Falling apart
The sun and the moon
I count sheep
Escape like an animal I'm ready for
My sleepless stroll

I've felt these shifting hours
Mistakenly used up

I gasp and hold my breath
These needs had changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for years

I gasp and hold my breath
These needs had changed so deep
To face you all and say
I've been awake for. . . Ever. . . Ever. . . Ever. . . Ever
