Asleep Lyrics by CSSE

The Journey Of Self: CSSE

2016

Chrous:
My eyes just finally opened no more blackness so now i can see
Digging through these pillow forts with blanket towers left for me
Every thought is pretty ugly mixed right in with something sweet
The only time i know i am alive is when i fall asleep
Dancing with my lover, while the devil touches all my dreams
My body's decomposing, creative juices seeping through the seams
The world is filled with magic, not everything is what it seems
The only time i know i am alive is when i fall asleep

Wake up in the morning from a nightmare the world is scary now
Mom and dad don't tuck me in so the monsters try and hold me down
But my mighty sword protects me from the creatures that live underground, mom and dad don't care about it
They tell me not to make a sound
Society is strict, Creativity is not allowed
Thinking stays within the brain, no-one ever speaks aloud
Unoriginality is awarded so i will never take a bow
Living with the burden of never making my parents proud
But my castle walls are built so tall that they will never crumble
Even with this cannon fire, these walls they will not stumble
Bullies always bully me so when it feels like im going under
I run away to solitude and hide within the covers
Taking shelter from this waging war is pitiful at best
But now i gotta prove that i am more dangerous than the rest
Stuck inside these stupid lines, so my body will not rest
Until i turn these dreams to gruesome scenes and put reality at test

My eyes just finally opened no more blackness so now i can see
Digging through these pillow forts with blanket towers left for me
Every thought is pretty ugly mixed right in with something sweet
The only time i know i am alive is when i fall asleep
Dancing with my lover, while the devil touches all my dreams
My body's decomposing, creative juices seeping through the seams
The world is filled with magic, not everything is what it seems
The only time i know i am alive is when i fall asleep

As we grow older we progress into things
That we never thought possible when we were kids
We fall in love, and our whole life feels like a win
But get attached and not realize that we committing a sin
And iv'e committed that every day i have left on this earth
I want to be with you until i'm stuck in the dirt
This castle is our castle and it will protect us from hurt
You are like a beat, yeah, and i am the words
Because without me you are still beautiful alone
And i'm still by your side when everything is going wrong
Cause i ain't never had nobody care like you do
It's hard to man up, when you are scared of the truth
God don't make perfect, yeah, but then he made you
So thank you for when i asked if you answered my prayers cause you do
But hey this world is magic, so maybe this ain't what it seems
Maybe my perfect match just visits when i'm asleep
Maybe my eyes only see what i want them to see
Maybe I am just alone and there is nobody for me
A figment of my mind is what these girls seem to be
Cause the only time i live, is when i'm asleep

My eyes just finally opened no more blackness so now i can see
Digging through these pillow forts with blanket towers left for me
Every thought is pretty ugly mixed right in with something sweet
The only time i know i am alive is when i fall asleep
Dancing with my lover, while the devil touches all my dreams
My body's decomposing, creative juices seeping through the seams
The world is filled with magic, not everything is what it seems
The only time i know i am alive is when i fall asleep
