Sleeping Through September

Remember us before the war

Remember what we were fighting for

I can't remember how I started it

I only know I got away with it

The shades are drawn our flags are up

I never could admit I'd had enough

I felt the impact all through my brain

It all went dark and then I knew that we'd changed

The city streets all turn to dust

I hear the bell and get back up

The war is waging inside my head

I look for mercy in what you said

The city streets all turn to dust

I hear the bell and get back up

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter

You'll find your strength in the first and third wind

Sleeping Through September

Remember us before the war

Remember what we were fighting for

I can't remember how I started it

I only know I got away with it

The lights came on I couldn't see

The others who had surrounded me

And then the winds began to change

I didn't feel so covered in shame

The city streets all turn to dust

I hear the bell and get back up

The war is waging inside my head

I look for mercy in what you said

The city streets all turn to dust

I hear the bell and get back up

It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter

You'll find your strength in the first and third wind

Sleeping Through September

It doesn't matter

(Hear the trumpets start to sound when all is said and done)
