Iron Chic - The Dreaming and the Waking World

Текст песни

You had a dream but now it’s over
You were asleep but you’re waking up
And the things that you dreamt about are gone now
Every breath you take seems colder
You gotta come to terms with that
There’s no safety here, maybe peace for a little while
You can scream and cry and curse
It couldn’t hurt, couldn’t make it worse
You can grind your teeth, wring your hands until they bleed
You can try going back to sleep, maybe that’s really all you need
Keep yourself awake, I haven’t slept at night myself since the old days
I know all the ways that a heart can break
We could sleep ourselves to death
Hang our failures here like a monument
A hell we made, for heaven’s sake, we gotta keep ourselves awake
Keep yourself awake
I don’t sleep at night myself much anyway
And when I try to speak
The words appear but make no sense to me
I try to go back to sleep
I try but I won’t succeed
Keep yourself awake, I haven’t slept at night myself since the old days
I know all the ways that a heart can break
We could sleep ourselves to death
Hang our failures here like a monument
A hell we made, for heaven’s sake, we gotta keep ourselves awake
