Song: Sleepers

Artist: Seven Places

Verse 1:
I went back to the park where we used to sit and talk for hours.
We'd laugh and make our plans. We swore that we'd be friends forever.
But oh how things change. Did you see this coming? It caught me off guard.
I never thought I'd see you forsake your first love.

Chorus:
It's been such a long long time since we have talked.
It's been such a long long time since we've seen eye to eye.
We used to feel the same. It's obvious to me:
We dreamt the same dreams but now you're awake
But I'm still sleeping.

Verse 2:
Winter's in the air and the wind it stings like ice, or
Maybe those are just the tears freezing in my eyes. I
Wish I could see you and tell you nothing's changed.
The God you once loved with all of your heart
Stayed the same, stayed the same, stayed the same

Chorus
I'm still sleeping
I'm still sleeping
I'm still sleeping

G.K. Chesterton on Truth

He has come too near to the truth, and has forgotten that truth is a magnet, with the powers of attraction and repulsion. . . It is impossible to be just to the Catholic Church. The moment men cease to pull against it they feel a tug towards it. The moment they cease to shout it down they begin to listen to it with pleasure. The moment they try to be fair to it they begin to be fond of it. But when that affection has passed a certain point it begins to take on the tragic and menacing grandeur of a great love affair. The man has exactly the same sense of having committed or compromised himself; of having been in a sense entrapped, even if he is glad to be entrapped.
-G.K. Chesterton
