-- Lyrics --
still hearing that dream
i guess i'll rest when
i’m sound asleep
so the sun’s rising
and still here i lie
as if it’s surprising
the silence is mine
do i despise me
or fear that it’s not worth the try
closing my eyes
(restless nights)
i’ve memorized the cracks along the ceiling
(why can’t i)
just find a way to shake this aching feeling
(i won’t hide)
covered underneath these sheets and lay to waste
wired but i’m wide awake
cause i’m
still hearing that dream
hate to be honest
so painfully conscious
but i’m still sound asleep
wearing out thin
but my skin is thicker
the light’s dim
but mine will still flicker on
and on
‘til i’ve finally become me
i never learned i’m allowed to grow
i’m wearing out right to the bone
will i find what i’ve been waiting for?
like i’m supposed to be meant for more
(think i gave up like i had a choice?
scream into my pillow, bury my voice
sing it one more time, bellows of thunder
out from behind my shadow)
hate to be honest
so painfully conscious
but i’m still sound asleep
wearing out thin
but my skin is thicker
the light’s dim
but mine will still flicker on
and on
‘til i’ve finally become me
