Half Awake

(album: Self Preservation - 2022)

Each night in my dreams, I make a town
The suburbs are sleeping, I'm watching you drown
Is it you breathing down the back of my neck?
Is it you? Swear I felt it, what the heck?

Sleeping all day so you'll haunt me
Doing it since I was 15

Is it you, silhouette, no face?
Is it you, keeping me, half awake?
I just wanna sleep, so I can keep you
Here with me

My eyes closed but I'm barely lucid
I built you a home, up where the moon is
But you're always gone whenever the sun hits
I fall into darkness, the water is ruthless
Do I have to go through this?

Sleeping all day so you'll haunt me
Doing it since I was 15

Is it you, silhouette, no face?
Is it you, keeping me, half awake?
I just wanna sleep, so I can keep you
Here with me

I don't want to wake up if you're not going to be there, it's not fair
If you'll never wake up, I'd rather be in the dark
I don't want to wake up if you're not going to be there, it's not fair
