XV - Falling Awake lyrics
[XV - Falling Awake lyrics]
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
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
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
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

The dream that you’re living is too
