lyrics

Conflicting dreams at our bedside
Adolescent bedtime stories coercing our minds
Paralyzed beneath folded sheets
I’ve seen these figures staring back at me
Wake me up
Can’t feel my body from the deep
I can’t shake it off
I’m paralyzed
Wake me up from this sleep
Wake me from this sleep
Don’t pull me under
Don’t pull me under again
Stuck beneath a heavy spell cast
By the deities
Cannot breathe
Under these conditions for us to see
The paralyzed consciousness
Repeat dreams at the root of this problem
Demon somnologoists
Bathing themselves in their own power
Seven days in my bed
Gripping the ground beneath
My feet for the first time
Waking up is a choice they can’t make
So I’ll make it a choice on my own (own)
Wake me from this sleep
Don’t pull me under
Don’t pull me under again
Inflicting dreams at our bedside
Contradicting daytime stories coerces our minds
Paralyzed beneath folded sheets
I’ve seen these figures staring back at me
Seven days in my bed
Gripping the ground beneath
My feet for the first time
Waking up is a choice they won’t make
But I’m making the choice on my own (own)
