about

Can't Stay Awake - This song examines the battle we all have in our own minds when you are in a dark place and the urge to sleep the day away feels like a real life villain.

lyrics

I gather salt from the sea,
I hear my own heart beat,
I bleed and bleed but still feel you in me,

With empty sounds I speak,
I fall and skin my knees,
I'd cut my bones out if you'd release me,

You keep your eyes closed, I'll keep my blindfold
I'm bending time to try and remind you,
You are the one that keeps me here
And though I'm sleeping, you're the one dreaming,
Weeping I'm restless, you couldn't care less,
You have the power over me dear (over me dear)

I try to fight your mind, I open up my eyes
you pull me down and
I can't stay awake, can't stay awake
I try to find the light, I try to find my sight
you pull me down and
I can't stay awake, I can't stay awake tonight (tonight)
(close your eyes, don't close your eyes)

I feel you pulsing in me,
I feel my veins coursing
I plead and plead but you have to keep me

Is this eternity, lost in dependency
I'd cut my heart out if you'd just free me

You keep your eyes closed, I'll keep my blindfold
I'm bending time to try and remind you,
You are the one that keeps me here
And though I'm sleeping, you're the one dreaming,
Weeping I'm restless, you couldn't care less,
You have the power over me dear (over me dear)

I try to fight your mind, I open up my eyes
you pull me down and
I can't stay awake, can't stay awake
I try to find the light, I try to find my sight
you pull me down and
I can't stay awake, I can't stay awake tonight (tonight)
(close your eyes, don't close your eyes)

I try to fight your mind, I open up my eyes
you pull me down and
I can't stay awake, can't stay awake tonight
