I Slept

I wanted to know you
But you always had your secrets
Like airplanes tall buildings
The mysteries that you kept

So I slept...

I wanted to have you
But you always kept your lips shut
Like veils dark nighttime
The split of the skin when it's cut

So I slept...

When I walk through
This part of the city
I can feel my heart my sweat
And I don't want to know
I don't want to know
I don't want to know now

That I slept...

I wanted to tell you
But that was something you would not permit
So like sirens helicopter blades
blood regret

I slept...
