Sleep Alone

Howard Rowland S.

First I shut down the stars because
You said they ruled us
Then I took out Mars
He was the cruelest
His lover followed suit
By way of suicide
And the others stood there silent
As I dealt out peace of mind

Shut me up
Shut me down
Stop me if you can
My love, I'll show you nothing
I'm a misanthropic man

Shut me up
Shut me down
Stop me if you can
My love, I'll show you nothing
I'm a misanthropic man

Shut me up
Shut me down
Stop me if you can
My love, I'm less than nothing
I'm a misanthropic man

This is a journey
To the edge of the night
I've got no companions
Only Celine's on my side
Don't need nothing from no-one
The needle's in the red
Nothing to lose
Everything's dead

Shut me up
Shut me down
Stop me if you can
My love, I'll show you nothing
I'm a misanthropic man

Shut me up
Shut me down
Stop me if you can
My love, I'm less than nothing
I'm a misanthropic man

The sky is empty/silent
The earth as still as stone
Nothing stands above me
Now I can sleep alone
