Take My Place

I'll just stay here in the back
I'll watch the room
I'm keeping track
I'll hang out here like the moon
I wane and I wax
as the light sources move
And when your eyes grow heavy with the sleep of the righteous
you'll forget that you had dreamed of me at all
I learned something long ago
which is no one expects
the stranger to know
So I have to find someplace new
where I don't know the rules
where I don't know who's who
And when your eyes grow heavy with the sleep of the righteous
you'll forget that you had ever dreamed at all
If you come in through the door at the side
it looks like the saints have all turned their backs
Smile you're on camera it says
I look up at the lens
Take my place on the loop
And if my eyes grow heavy with the sleep of the righteous
I'll feel as though I'd never slept before
