Sleep Lyrics by Jude Joseph

Helicopterspotting!

2018

And so these are the dangers that I knew would occur
I observe from the edge of the deck and it serves
To remind me of stupid decisions and plans
My subconscious designed and thrust into my hands
Extracting words that'll match the sensations
I'm sharpening through a state of intoxication
I know why I'm down, but I'm not gonna fix it
And speak of the devil, but I still won't risk it

Concealing your feelings is healthy regardless
Of what people say, it's the coping that's hardest
So stay isolated, a drink in your hand
And envy the people whose lives went as planned
I'm fucking pissed off and I don't have a right to be
According to myself and my own philosophy
Now I'm in pain but that's all on me
Who else is to blame for my own misery?

So I'll head back to the gutter and
Get kicked in the head and pissed on by everyone
But maybe it's just raining
Maybe it's a dream
I'll let my paranoia and these violent shakes lull me to sleep
These violent shakes lull me to sleep

Is this an excuse or legitimate reason
For use of this chemical changer of seasons
Not that it matters, I'll drink it all anyway
Just to say "fuck you" to all that went down today
Fun party talk about self-harm and depression
Enhances the hopelessness, doubt and aggression
That seems to come daily in increasing doses
Cos when one door opens another one closes

So I'll head back to the gutter and
Get kicked in the head and pissed on by everyone
But maybe it's just raining
Maybe it's a dream
I'll let my paranoia and these violent shakes lull me to sleep

These violent shakes lull me to sleep
Sleep

It's stay here with the crowd and just feel more depressed
Or head home, be alone and just feel more depressed
I'm not sure I can take it
My lifelines are gone
So I'll suffer in silence like I've done for so long
It makes complete sense I'm so fucking confused
And I'll tell myself that, leave my ego disused
But saying it is one thing, believing another
That someday I'll get to say at least we'll have each other

So I'll head back to the gutter and
Get kicked in the head and pissed on by everyone
But maybe it's just raining
Maybe it's a dream
I'll let my paranoia and these violent shakes lull me to sleep
These violent shakes lull me to sleep

Yeah I'll head back to the gutter and
Get kicked in the head and pissed on by everyone
But maybe it's just raining
Maybe it's a dream
I'll let my paranoia and these violent shakes lull me to sleep
These violent shakes lull me to sleep
These violent shakes lull me to sleep
I'll let my paranoia and these violent shakes lull me to sleep
