Fall To Sleep

(album: The World We Built - 2017)

We rise up late again
The mornings when the truth really seeps in
We're all just trying to get by
Rushing to our 9 to 5s

We're living at the top of the night
Feet up against the window as we take a drive
Staring up at stars, I'm losing sense of the time
Not worried about the morning light

Starting to see the morning light

Fall to sleep, hold on to something sweet
It's the only place where you can hide
From your own conscious mind

The gaslight is on again
Scrap the bottom of my purse to try and fill it
And I know that I'll be alright
If I can just make it to my 9 to 5

All your friends tell you that you'll be fine
You're strong and they're not worried, it's a matter of time
But I'm worried about myself
And I'm worried about my mental health

Fall to sleep, hold on to something sweet
It's the only place where you can hide
From your own conscious mind

The hardest part is getting out
Of the traps we set ourselves
When courage is a gamble and the future is a bet
I got too much down on who I was
And not enough on who I am
