Sleeper (Vocal Version) Lyrics

Uh, yeah

Takin' time to unwind

Settle in for the night

VHS glaring with the grain in my eyes

It's a blight, the eternal struggle to live in the moment

Being asleep feels better knowing dreams are within reach

I know that these times are hard, but they'll get better soon

Countin' the days that I don't wake up until half-past noon

I really do know better

It's true, but I wake up still dreaming

That's what gets me through

Catch me beamin' until my face don't lie to you, uh

Every thing I spill in my songs is true, uh

Yeah, I feel like an open wound, uh-huh

Pourin' my heart out on the mic for new Stollgan tunes, uh-huh

But this is what I do

Uh, yeah

When I was a little boy, my dreams were bigger than ever

And now they're dwindled sometimes simply because of bad weather

Yeah, I used to dream big every day

Call me a sleeper, but I spent most of my time dreaming awake

Still on the same grind since I was younger

Changed lanes a little bit cause now I hunger for something else

Now I just take care of myself and try to lift people up

While making the music I love

Someday I'll rise above my fear the world is out to get me

I wrote it in a song because that's true manifesting

There's nothing I can't do as long as I let me

In the meantime, I'm still workin' towards being the best me

My dreams are sweet, but reality is sweeter

It's time to wake up and stop being a sleeper

Now I wanna figure out how to bring it all together

I'm certainly on my way, yeah I've never been doin' better

But I won't lie, there's still some days when I feel lower than high

Some nights when my eyes are wetter than dry

Embracing who I am does not help me defy

Others who objectify

When I was a little boy, my dreams were bigger than ever

And now they're dwindled sometimes simply because of bad weather

Yeah, I used to dream big every day

Call me a sleeper, but I spent most of my time dreaming awake

Still on the same grind since I was younger

Changed lanes a little bit cause now I hunger for something else

Now I just take care of myself and try to lift people up

While making the music I love

One day I'll face my demons head-on like we're wrestling

I'm telling you this now so that you'll understand what gets me

I wanna make a change so I don't feel the same

Ten years from now, I'm gonna be a brand new person

Watch me regenerate
