Sleeping Dogs
Unveiling Truths: Awakening from Silence
Lyrics
I'm so tired of not moving, my skin is stiff and sore
I'm fatigued from inactivity; my skin feels rigid and painful.
And I'm so tired of not looking at that thing that we ignore
I'm weary of ignoring an important matter.
And I'm so nervous that you'll see me seeing if you turn your face anymore
I'm anxious that you'll notice me observing if you turn away.
And I'm so careful to keep your secrets, what do I do this for
I'm cautious in guarding your secrets; questioning the purpose of this.
Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is on the rise
It's late, and the sun is rising; time to face the truth.
And it's time to open up those blinds and let it shine
Open the blinds, let the truth shine on the hidden issues (sleeping dogs).
On those sleeping dogs you let lie
Referencing unresolved problems or ignored issues.
I always wondered where you got the notion that your silence does not hurt
Questioning the belief that silence doesn't cause pain.
Cause I can see the truth when you lean over, it's in the pocket of your shirt
Seeing the truth in body language, gestures, or unspoken cues.
And unspoken might feel like mercy but all it means is there's things you've
Unspoken words might seem kind, but it conceals undisclosed feelings.
Never said
Acknowledging the existence of unexpressed emotions.
It only means I have no way of knowing if it's all in my head
Uncertainty about reality when important things are left unsaid.
Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is in the sky
Emphasizing the urgency to confront reality with the rising sun.
And it's time to open up those blinds and let it shine
Encouraging openness to expose hidden problems.
On those sleeping dogs you let lie
Reiterating the need to address unresolved issues.
And you know why
Highlighting the importance of facing the truth.
And for a long time I don't think you ever really knew about the state I was
For a long time, the true emotional state was concealed.
In
Acknowledging a personal failure in communication.
And I guess that would be my fault, cause all I ever showed you was skin
Admitting to revealing only superficial aspects of oneself.
But now you got that x-ray close-up, you got that microscope to my gut
Metaphorically exposing one's vulnerabilities under scrutiny.
And that is not a one-way offer so I'll tell you what
Offering reciprocity in sharing vulnerabilities and truths.
Wake up, it's getting late and the sun is high in the sky
Again urging to face reality as the day progresses.
And I'm here to open up those blinds and let it shine
Taking the initiative to uncover hidden issues.
You may be sleeping soundly but I will not let you lie
Asserting a commitment to truth, not allowing deception.
