Awake // Asleep Lyrics

All of the people around me are leaving

They're all getting jobs and they're, they're gonna be something

I'm just afraid that I'm gonna be nothing

The dirt underneath the shoes that you walk in

I've made it this far, why not go a little more

I tell myself, in moments of self doubt

Hoping it will help me out, somebody help me out

I'll stay in bed because dreaming is the only way

The only way out now

I had a dream that my brother died

I watched him get shot in the back 6 times

Then for some reason it was my job

To break the bad news to my mom

Even my dreams are letting me down

There's no solace when I sleep

It's nightmare after nightmare

Night mare after nightmare

I don't think there's a single good dream left in here

I'll stay awake all night, cause it's the only escape

It's the only way out now

There's no escape

If I'm awake all night or asleep all day

I can't keep the bad away

And there's no escape

This is just the way I am

I thought I found a love that would last

But enough time can make any lover just a figment of your past
