joel514 Saw them in Concert opening for Icon for Hire and they performed this live talking about their sobriety and it really hit me how this band has overcome so much. They were super nice to me and the whole crowd. Highly recommend seeing them in concert

about

As a band in recovery, we've felt the dark depths of addiction and the hope and gratitude of sobriety. This song is our plea to our friends and loved ones still on the other side of that struggle to know that you are worth it and you are loved.

lyrics

Silver spoon
Distant stare
Slumping over in your chair
Never seen your eyes so empty
Two dark wells

Darkened room
Lonely place
In my hands I hold your face
Never seen your eyes so empty
Two dark wells

But I know you just want peace
You get close when you go to sleep

Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
Come back to me
We got a pact to keep
Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
I’m screaming
Don’t you stay asleep

My sweet sleepwalker
How did you get so high?
My sweet sleepwalker
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Stay with me
Stay awake
Hold you as you start to shake
The kitchen floor is spinning
I can’t make you live

Trauma bonded to pain
It’s your gun, it’s your game
Cylinder is spinning
I can’t make you live

Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
Come back to me
We got a pact to keep
Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
I’m screaming
Don’t you stay asleep

My sweet sleepwalker
How did you get so high?
My sweet sleepwalker
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

This obsession is killing you slowly
And I don’t have the strength
I keep folding
So it’s time to wake up and keep going

I know you still want peace

Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
Come back to me
We got a pact to keep
Sweet dreams but baby not too sweet
I’m screaming
Don’t you stay asleep

My sweet sleepwalker
How did you get so high?
My sweet sleepwalker
Open up your eyes
Open up your eyes

Hooked Like Helen's sound embodies a unique vein of alternative music; dark lyrical themes of unresolved trauma and existential pondering provide a refreshingly authentic perspective.
