Caleb Shafer - Asleep lyrics

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
