lyrics

No one wants to be sad all the time
Except me in my mind, feeling broken inside
When I’m wide awake I’m useless and tired, silent and quiet
How many times have I lied to survive when I’m wide awake

You don’t know you’re in my dreams
And everything I dream belongs to me, I’m weak
You don’t know what to believe
The only thing I need is sleep to feel relieved, I’m weak

Nowhere is as distant and far as where I am right now,
The abyss of my heart when I’m wide awake
Being with someone is hard when you’ve never learned to talk,
I rather stay apart when I’m wide awake

You don’t know the reason why there is no end,
No matter at which point I am you don’t know how much I’ve cried
So don’t expect that I will answer when you’re asking me to die

Nothing inside of me is alive
I’m rejecting myself, desire slowly dies when I’m wide awake
I crucify truth, I’m sentenced to lie
Feelings have no more weight in my life when I’m wide awake

Every discomfort I fell into
The more I became lonely, the more insecure
This is a wasteland to us all and I’m the leader to our downfall
An endless spiral
The reason why I can’t stay awake
Is because I can not bear reality anymore

No one wants to be sad all the time
Feelings have no more weight in my life when I’m wide awake
Nothing inside of me is alive except me in my mind,
Feeling broken inside when I’m wide awake
Nowhere is as distant and far as where I am right now,
I rather stay apart when I’m wide awake
