[Intro] Clock on the wall Breath in my chest Both running slower Than all of the rest [Verse 1] Ash in my coffee Cold on the sill Messages blinking I’m standing still Sun in the curtain I pull it tight Hiding my face From another bright day [Verse 2] Friends at the doorway “Come take a ride” Laughing in colors I’m gray inside Phone in my pocket Heavy as stone Scrolling through moments That don’t feel like home [Pre-Chorus] Waves in my head keep crashing I’m tired of staying strong (so strong) If I drift out with the current Would anybody notice I’m gone? [Chorus] Let me sleep Let me sleep I’m so tired of this climb Of this steep concrete If I sink Way down deep Would you pull me to the light Would you fight for me? Or just Let me sleep Let me sleep [Verse 3] Note on the table Folded in two Words that I practice All pointing to you Pill bottle open Voice in my ear Saying “just end it” And “stay Stay right here” [Bridge] [Reggae groove building under a rising metal riff] Storm in my skull Skin on fire (hey!) Praying for peace Pulled by the wire One more step I’m close to the edge Name on my tongue like a final pledge (yeah) [Metal hits harder Screams under clean lead] If I fall tonight Will you break my fall? If I fade from sight Will you hear me call? [Pre-Chorus] Waves in my head still crashing I’m trying to hold on (hold on) If I drift out with the current Would anybody beg me “stay Don’t be gone”? [Chorus] Let me sleep Let me sleep I’m so tired of this climb Of this steep concrete If I sink Way down deep Would you pull me to the light Would you fight for me? Please don’t Let me sleep Let me sleep [Outro] Clock on the wall Hands almost meet I breathe one more time Plant both feet Leave the note crumpled Drop it in rain Whisper “stay with me” Through the shake Through the pain
