They held me when I needed them
They showed me a better place
Those dreams where I felt so free
Those dreams where I didn’t have to worry anymore
I’ve always wanted a place that was perfectly in between life and death
Free of conscious but still alive so I don’t have to feel the pain of everyday life and disappoint everyone who loves me
If I could just sleep forever, I would
Some of those dreams were so fucking beautiful
But somehow I could never outrun the nightmares
And alarm clocks acted as harsh reality checks
I know it doesn’t seem super practical, but sleeping feels like the only productive thing I do anymore
And sometimes saves me from what I’d do to myself if I were still awake
Awake
They held me when I needed them
They showed me a better place
Those dreams where I felt so free
But every goddamn dream has to come to an end
And that’s why it was always impossible to run in my dreams
There is no escape
You’ll make it through this day somehow
