Lie awake Lyrics by Creeper

The Callous Heart

2015

Our hearts break over and over forever, or at least each time we meet
I'm keen to keep this agreement we tend to talk but never speak

(Pre-chorus)
I'm bitter and drunk again, in the living room with old R.E.M
Though I don't know any of them, you're city across with your phantom friends

(Chorus)
Lie awake
Confess your flaws to the ceiling
Lie awake
A million tiny ghosts fall from your throat
Lie awake
Confess your flaws to the ceiling
Lie awake
A million tiny ghosts fall from your throat

It's a funeral for a feeling, a life I forget to live
The feeling is fleeting
Purple bows and summer clothes
Every night is disparate and every night our distance grows

(Pre-chorus)
I'm bitter and drunk again, in the living room with old R.E.M
Though I don't know any of them, you're city across with your phantom friends

(Chorus)
Lie awake
Confess your flaws to the ceiling
Lie awake
A million tiny ghosts fall from your throat
Lie awake
Confess your flaws to the ceiling
Lie awake
A million tiny ghosts fall from your throat

It's a funeral for a feeling, a life I forget to live
I'll call you up and lie about the fucks that I don't give

I felt the bed fall away on the night you left, I barely closed my eyes with the amount I slept
Like a falling star to ground below
If you ever fall again don't let me know

So sleep alone out of spite, every night
