lyrics

I won’t sleep tonight
I won’t sleep tonight
Throughout the day I’m half awake
And now near all my light’s been taken
I’m left with the night
Just trying to keep my eyes open
Now it seems I’m all alone and
I just try to think bright

Pressure building ‘round my eyes
Colors blurring to my sides
What am I gonna find?
Should I grab ahold this line?
Though I'm scared to face the climb
What am I gonna find
On the banks of my mind?

I won’t sleep tonight
Oh no, no I, I won’t sleep tonight
And won’t be fated by the motions
Battle cries now softly spoken
In the dead of the night
It's getting colder by the minute
Hard to feel it when you’re in it
In the heat of the fight

Pressure building ‘round my eyes
Colors blurring to my sides
What am I gonna find?
Should I grab ahold this line?
Though I'm scared of what I’ll find
What am I gonna find
On the banks of my mind?

Stream of unconsciousness
Trying to take its hold
Receptors all been dulled
I've had nothing but time
Yet I've nothing to show
Nowhere feels like home
Finally, the dawn chorus
Early morning glow

What if I'm in too deep?
Just wait until this slows
I can’t just fall asleep
And give in to the flow
Will the banks prove too steep?
Only forever knows
Should I just fall asleep?
And take this where it goes
Surely I’m in too deep
I cannot feel my toes
I should just fall asleep
There’s comfort in the known
To be a counting sheep
It’s safer I suppose
I should just fall asleep
Forever never knows
I should just fall asleep
I should just drift off tooooo
