Asleep 05:39
I wanted to stay, but you took me away I wanted to stay, but you took me away Ohhhhh, Away from Away from me. I could tell you if I knew I'd been losing sleep over you but i hope that you're okay I've been losing sleep oh I wanted to stay, but you took me away I wanted to stay, but you kept me waiting oh, away from Away from me. I would tell you if i knew I'd be losing sleep over you wide awake and i miss you i could tell you if i knew I wanted to stay, but you took me away.

Well things don't fade, just people do And when I was surrounded by my friends The loneliness never seemed to fade We were dealt a shit hand and all any of us had to do was believe that things would get better Truthfully the reason it didn't because you all wouldn't let it I wish this was individually but it's come to a collective whole in the end Where were you when I needed you You stayed awake in your pretend sleep Maybe it's too harsh of thing a thing to say Someday we will laugh at all the memories we made How must we all complain about loneliness but can't stay around long enough to give each other any sort of hope. I found peace without any of you here Must I depend on these four walls again The leaves left the trees and you went with them It was the coldest winter I ever experienced Some things are better left unsaid So I'll lose all my teeth On this pillow complied of sheep And bite my tongue out of relief I miss you all more and more everyday I miss you all more and more everyday

Underneath the bridge The tarp has sprung a leak And the animals I've trapped Have all become my pets And I'm living off of grass And the drippings from the ceiling It's okay to eat fish 'Cause they don't have any feelings Something in the way, mmm Something in the way, yeah, mmm Underneath the bridge The tarp has sprung a leak And the animals I've trapped Have all become my pets And I'm living off of grass And the drippings from the ceiling It's okay to eat fish 'Cause they don't have any feelings Something in the way, mmm Something in the way, yeah, mmm

I'm still begging for your attention like when I was a kid I'm sorry I can't explain this Absence filled the house And I lost the laughter with it I feel so lost in this city There are such better places than here I miss your damn smile Mother I miss your laughter when it rings Ill figure my way out in this world There is a reason for everything The sadness came as I was leaving I'm sorry for anything Absurdity started at nothing It not the first time I scraped my knees Or the first time I fell past the floor In all the lessons I learned It's always to be modest And that life won't give you things you can't handle Because things are never promised I won't be stuck in this hole for long So straighten your back kid It's time to move on Straighten your back kid You won't be stuck in this hole for long Straighten your back kid It's time to move on

I'd learn to fly just to carry you over I'd clip your wings, just to see you cross over Wait here with me, the world is drowning Stay here with me, we'll wave goodbye as we see them gathering below I built a bridge so wave goodbye as we cross over it. I built a bridge to tell you all that the world's worth living in I built a bridge so wave goodbye as we cross over it I've built a bridge to tell you all that the world's worth living in. You always told me it would get better So Will you keep out all of the sadness, if I asked ? It's always so hard to be lost within the water And it's hard being constant without feeling like a bother Stay with me please, because all is love in this tortured ease The world is no longer beautiful and I am drowning in it The world is no longer beautiful Wait here with me, the world is drowning. Stay here with me, we'll wave goodbye as we see them gathering below. I built a bridge, so wave goodbye as we cross over it I built a bridge, to tell you all that their world is worth shit I've built a bridge to wave goodbye as we cross over it I've built a bridge.
