Iron Chic - The Dreaming and the Waking World lyrics

You had a dream but now it's over You were asleep but you're waking up And the things that you dreamt about are gone now Every breath you take seems colder You gotta come to terms with that There's no safety here, maybe peace for a little while You can scream and cry and curse It couldn't hurt, couldn't make it worse You can grind your teeth, wring your hands until they bleed You can try going back to sleep, maybe that's really all you need [Chorus] Keep yourself awake, I haven't slept at night myself since the old days I know all the ways that a heart can break We could sleep ourselves to d**h Hang our failures here like a monument A hell we made, for heaven's sake, we gotta keep ourselves awake Keep yourself awake I don't sleep at night myself much anyway And when I try to speak The words appear but make no sense to me I try to go back to sleep I try but I won't succeed [Chorus] Keep yourself awake, I haven't slept at night myself since the old days I know all the ways that a heart can break We could sleep ourselves to d**h Hang our failures here like a monument A hell we made, for heaven's sake, we gotta keep ourselves awake
