keep myself awake

i hate to talk like this

i hate to act as if

there's something wrong that i can't say

i have this dream at night

almost every night

i've been dreaming it forever

it's easy to remember it

it's always cold

it's always day

you're always here

you always say

i'm alright

i'll be ok

if i can keep myself awake

keep myself awake

i get up early

i look around me

can't help but wonder what you mean

'cause when i'm sleeping

i'm so deep in it

so much more real to me

closer than reality

it's always cold

it's always day

you're always here

you always say

i'm alright

i'll be ok

if i can keep myself awake

keep myself awake

keep myself awake

keep myself awake

i get up early

i look around me

i'm buying coffee by the pound

when i'm sleeping

i'm so deep in it

i can't keep myself awake

keep myself awake

keep myself awake

keep myself awake
