This album is about a person with a troubled upbringing ending up in a gang/cult. This song seems to be about a child who is supposed to be in bed but wakes up to see his heroine addicted parents using. It could be one specific memory or an amalgamation.

Sleeper Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh my, your fever's high
I lay my hands upon you
Oh my, haven't you heard?
The truth is untrue

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm breathing
I could not breathe until you did
I'm one second after you
Now I'm breathing
I could not breathe until you did
Just a second after you

[Chorus]
Someone inside your room
Who is it there behind you?
What does he want from you?
Someone inside your room
Who is it there behind you?
What does he want from you?

[Verse 2]
Sleeper, what did you see?
I close the window to the street
Parents died and left their child
Unattented for a while

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm breathing
I could not breathe until you did
I'm one second after you
Now I'm breathing
I could not breathe until you did
Just a second after you

[Chorus]
Someone inside your room
Who is it there behind you?
What does he want from you?
Someone inside your room
Who is it there behind you?
What does he want from you?

[Post-Chorus]
From you, from you
From you, from you
From you, from you
From you, from you

[Outro]
Sleeper's song, will you listen to me sing?
The bird is here, I can see the edge of his wing
If you die now, how can I then live on?
Don't give up, you must live on
Sleeper's song, will you listen to me sing?
The bird is here, I can see the edge of his wing
If you die now...
