[Verse 1] "Don't Wake Me," Until the shadows all have risen Until the weightless consumes me Till I'm lost in the deep. In that painted sky at night, Where fears burn bright. She pretends to drift off, She pretends to drift off. [Pre-Chorus] She is drifting beside sorrow, Morning claws her sharply— She resists. She is cold and breathless. [Chorus] Wake me when I’m finally silent, Wake me when I’m finally silent. Whisper out my name, Whisper out my name. Wake me when I’ve crossed into the quiet, The quiet where there is no blame The quiet where nothing remains [Verse 2] She used to dream Of never giving up— Yet hiding, Just slipping forever Through that, through that endless darkness Broken ground, Perfect shrouds. She leaves earthly things, She falls too asleep. [Bridge] She is leaning into hollow, She is stepping past the heavens. Daylight cuts like shatter— She insists, She insists. She is torn and reckless. [Final Chorus] Wake me when I’m finally silent, Wake me when I’m finally silent. Whisper out my name, Whisper out my name. Wake me when I’ve crossed into the quiet, The quiet where there is no blame The quiet where nothing remains She hears a calling, She hears a calling. Broken ground, Perfect shrouds. She swears not to wake, She swears not to wake, Till the quiet when she dies. [Outro] "Wake me then," she says As she closes her eyes. After all this weight, She sinks in too deep. Wake me when I’m finally silent, The quiet when I die.
