So Tired of Being Awake

(Verse 1)

Shadows dancing in the corner light

Whispering secrets in the dead of night

A silvery promise in a quiet crystal glass

Waiting for the heavy hours to pass

They say "just lean here, let the tension break"

I'm so damn tired of being awake

(Chorus)

Oh, they promised peace where the chaos dies

A soft escape from rainy blue-grey skies

So I let them in

Let them take the wheel

Drowning out the pain I feel

Sliding down, into my cold hard soul

I'm so damn tired of being awake

I'm just so damn tired of being awake

(Verse 2)

Faint voices singing a childish lullaby

A velvet curtain blocking out the sky

Binding up the ache inside my chest

Offering a silent, shallow rest

They’ll cradle me away from all the pain

I'm so damn tired of being awake

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

Oh, they promised peace where the chaos dies

A soft escape from rainy blue-grey skies

So I let them in

Let them take the wheel

Drowning out the pain I feel

Sliding down, into my cold hard soul

I'm so damn tired of being awake

I'm just so damn tired of being awake

(Bridge)

Deeper, deeper fading into endless night

Losing all my colors, losing all my light

But now the silence feels a little strange

Looking for the faces, watching them disengage

...And I wonder, did they ever care?

Or am I just floating away, floating away

I'm so damn tired of being awake

(Chorus - Outro)

They promised peace where the chaos dies

A soft escape... but it was all just lies.

Now I drift inside the dark unknown

The ghosts have left me here

All alone.

All alone.
