~•§•~ Light Sleeper v2.0 ~•§•~
(song attempt/build)

One foot in the ground
One foot six feet deeper
With darkness all around
Fear's such a light sleeper
My fall never made a sound
Put the tree on loudspeaker
A picture won't last longer
If it never is a keeper

Feeeearrr
Doesn't make a sound
What you heeeearrrr
Is your spirit finally found
Get an eeeearrrr...
...ful when you finally hear it
Just hope you survived it
And don't sound like a hypocrite

Example
Fear (Feeeearrr)
Hear (heeeearrrr)
Ear (eeeearrrr)
