Asleep

James Bakian


Take me home
I don’t wanna cry anymore
I’m getting sick and tired of it all
There’s nobody here to break my fall
There’s no mercy in my head
All the lights are dead
I don’t feel safe in the shadows
I don’t feel safe at all

I won’t ask for your forgiveness
Everybody I’ve let down
But I can’t apologize for tears I’ve bottled up inside
I feel as though I’m gonna drown
Everybody who surrounds me is a ghost
Everyone I know
Even when I’m with the ones I care for most
I am still alone
Everybody who surrounds me is a ghost
Everyone I know
Even when I’m with the ones that I care for most
I am still alone

So don’t wake me up
When I fall asleep
I think I’ve fallen in too deep
Now I’ve lost myself
Rejected help
And now I’ve got to take the leap
So don’t wake me up
When I fall asleep
I think I’ve fallen in too deep
No one tells you that’s it’s gonna be alright
No one tells you that you’re gonna be alright
