lyrics

While I was sleeping oh the secrets she was keeping
Come to bed and stay out of my head
I don’t need to spend this life obsessed with death
Trying my best to stay sane
walking through the rain
toward the city lights glowing pretty and tempting
Not everything is how it seems
Least of all, me

While I was sleeping she was somewhere softly weeping
invisible tears
A drought in her eye
Through all that we did
She never once cried
High and free floating by
Hollow and empty like a cloud in the sky
Unburdened by the rain
Unbothered and laughing again

Throw me out to sea again I’ve tired of the land
But I don’t expect you to understand how I can hold my little body underwater in the cold
I have been told to feed my demons
Before they feast on me
I’ve yet to see how this is more than just placation
I know I have a taste for pleasure
Still I deny the means to satisfy my lust
I try to hide the depths of their delusion
But she did something bad while I was sleeping
And so I’m gonna have to pay the price

Can’t tell if i’m caged or I’m freed
By everything surrounding me
This waking life feels like a dream
Like I’m coming undone at the seams

Slipping between
Oh, I’m learning to weep
Barely breathing
Still asleep
