Sleep Awake Lyrics

[Hook]
When I can't sleep away I, I dream awake, and I feel like I lost my mind today
When I can't sleep away I, I dream awake, and I feel like it's all about to fade (To fade)

[Verse 1]
And I never seem to wonder why these people are crazy
I wonder why they're non-stop
My thoughts brought the daily drama commas and questions
Honestly honor the lessons comical conversations dreaming through our common obsessions
But I'm asleep and I'ma never wake
Deep and I’ma levitate
Creeping through a landscape floating like a feather weight
I found a better way to move
Sleepwalking on the moon
Sleep talking there's no caution or rules
It's just a dream
I'm beaming through the scenes in teens
I got Orion's belt it's helping hold my seamless jeans
You needed to believe in something bigger then you're seeing
Something bigger then you're being
Nothing bleeds when you're free
It's kind of scary when you're sleeping and the pain stays
I was dreamin' you were drowning in my brainwaves
And I awoke to find my life is on the same page
I'm going back to bed and escaping all these plain days

[Hook]
When I can't sleep away I, I dream awake, and I feel like I lost my mind today
When I can't sleep away I, I dream awake, and I feel like it's all about to fade

[Verse 2]
I paint eyes on the outside of my eyelids
And lies on the inside hung by violence
It ain't as sweet a sound than if it's sung silence
I'm sprung off the months of mileage
Be quiet
I sleepwalk and nod off non-stop
The cheap talk caught off guard the garden rot
And life gets hard a lot; my eyes white, wide glow in the dark I'm trying to find that bright side
And weaving through the tedium; we're greedy it seems that I can only focus on my immediate needs
I walk around lucid like yeah I'm leaving my dreams
Slapped awake stupid now relieving the screams
And I ain't gonna rest as I catch my breath
Cause you and I both know that's the stretch of death
I throw something in the program, a wrench at best
Eventually my teeth unclenched and I slept

[Hook]
When I can't sleep away I, I dream awake, and I feel like I lost my mind today
When I can't sleep away I, I dream awake, and I feel like it's all about to fade
[Bridge x2]
Our addiction to dysfunction is steady got to stick to something
And I ain't never took a risk for nothing I'm sleeping with my sick assumptions

[Verse 3]
Well I'm beginning to dream a little bit more and more
And I can warm inside the thought that
I can sleep now diving in deep; Wow
I'm asleep inside my head instead of waking
I'ma stay here, play here
There are no gates here to make fear
(And when I lay my head to rest)
The thought of waking up will drive me crazy
(And when I lay my head to rest)
The thought of waking up will make me crazy

[Hook]
When I can't sleep away I, I dream awake, and I feel like I lost my mind today
When I can't sleep away I, I dream awake, and I feel like it's all about to fade

[Chorus x4]
And then it dawned on me, dawned on me
Dreaming's my escape
So I don't wanna be, wanna be, wanna be awake
