The Way You Fall Asleep Lyrics by Penelope Tree

The Scenes You Create

2016

[Verse 1]
All these places and people they just seem to change
I've been finding it hard to keep up with this pace
And I have been thinking 'bout moving away
But no matter how many times I pack up
It just leaves me bearing a weight
[Verse 2]
And I've been calling your name out
For what seems the tenth time, in consecutive nights
I guess my subconscious wants to keep you in my life
It's not easy to see it but
I know it took a while to tell I'm not well
[Chorus]
Woke up in a diner in Brooklyn next to a sad and lonely man
I guess I just caught my reflection, don't even know who I am
When the way you fall asleep is through medicine
You kind of forget who you are
You drove me all the way to the airport
I didn't wanna get out the car
[Verse 3]
You talk a big game in the mirror
But it's just a reflection of where you come from
You breathe, sleep, repeat and then struggle to eat
And I'm so close to saying "I'm done"
[Bridge]
And It's just like before, I'm rubbing my eyes 'til they're raw
My outline carved out on the floor
I'm getting bored
But I guess that's just life: Constantly wondering why
It's hard to get through night
It's not alright, but I'm getting by
[Chorus]
Woke up in a diner in Brooklyn next to a sad and lonely man
I guess I just caught my reflection, don't even know who I am
When the way you fall asleep is through medicine
You kind of forget who you are
Drove me all the way to the airport
I didn't wanna get out the car
