XV - Falling Awake lyrics

[Verse 1: XV] Didn't go to college, my mama gave me the saddest look Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle backpack with a rabbit foot Never wanna grow up, still fighting with Captain Hook Everyone confessing with questions about the path I took I laid down and never woke up it seems Never opened my eyes, I just opened my dreams Then I opened the curtain, but I closed out the scene Of my son with a dad and my girl with a ring 'Cause now I'm up on stage and I hear all the screams And the girls backstage are down to do anything So sometimes I slip off like shoes without strings And that OJ's love train is losing it's steam My son wants to stay up, my girl wants to lay up My mom wants to talk, my agent wants his pay cut A dream becomes a nightmare, my buzz takes a light-year And all the while right there, my girl's telling me to wake up If that's the real life then all of this is fake The dream that you're living is too much for me to take It all becomes real in that bed that I made So every time I lay down, I fall awake [Hook:] And it's not what it seems I don't wanna sleep if you're not in my dreams, I fall awake I wake up dreaming, I fall awake I make believe what they believe I make Success is close but far away so I wake up dreaming, I fall awake And it's not what it seems I don't wanna sleep if you're not in my dreams, I fall awake [Verse 2: XV] I used to dream about my grandmother daily And then my dreams is real life but I ain't seen her lately Comic stores open and I wait for her to take me I can scream at the top of my lungs like Mr. Spacely I writing, fighting these tears for fears Fighting the hears and cheers like in the battles between titans And I just want a quiet place to Brighton My crippled reality has un-tightened and my dream world is heightened 'Cause that's the only place where my love once stayed Not in the ground, decay, the love don't fade It all becomes real in that bed that I made So every time I lay down, I fall awake [Hook:] And it's not what it seems I don't wanna sleep if you're not in my dreams, I fall awake I wake up dreaming, I fall awake I make believe what they believe I make Success is close but far away so I wake up dreaming, I fall awake And it's not what it seems I don't wanna sleep if you're not in my dreams, I fall awake
