Sleep Drown Bleed
Do we have to bleed?
Just to feel alive
And poison ourselves
Just to get up high
Do we have to fly?
If only to take the fall
To weep dry our eyes
Is this what we call our life?
Do we have to scream?
Only to be unheard
And be fools ourselves
Just to seem wise
Do we have to smile?
If only to hurt inside
To dish out our lies
Will the sun ever rise?
And we become part of the sickness
Knowing we are running on nothing
Is there no end to this?
We are keeping our spent bliss
Tomorrow might not be bright
It’s been a while since we saw the light.
So we all close our eyes
Pretend that we can’t see
And we drown ourselves in rest
Run away and dig deep
We are drowning in our sleep
…just drowning in our sleep.
