lyrics

Where does strength come from? Where does heart come from?
Are we getting enough rest

Im trying hard to feel what its like
To trust my feet can hold me upright
I make time, but cant comprehend
Starting lines as opposed to their end

My heads sleepwalking

This night, This fight
The pull back forth, back forth, back again
Wait for, daylight
Its a sharp pain, deep pain in my head
Oh if i could
If only i could dictate how it sat
Hopeful, hopeful, but lucid dreaming is totally out of my hands

Push Pull! Knock me out!
The ins and outs of the day seem to bind
They override me, they confine me here, in this home
If i could find me, in this melody
Im hoping there’ll still be a soul to see, amongst war
Repetition and force of routine
Repetition and force of routine

This night, This fight
The pull back forth, back forth, back again
Wait for, daylight
Its a sharp pain, deep pain in my head
Oh if i could
If only i could dictate how it sat
Hopeful, hopeful, but lucid dreaming is totally out of my hands

How exhausted I truly am,
how Ive come to be is, irrelevant
Whoa
This false hope, through this weak will
Crawling like a mental lobotomy
Shaking up my head
It runs the risk and oh so briskly hangs my body, over the edge
Over the edge. I cant sleep. Whoa..

This night, This fight
The pull back forth, back forth, back again
Wait for, daylight
Its a sharp pain, deep pain!
This night, This fight
The pull back forth, back forth, back again
Wait for, daylight
Its a sharp pain, deep pain in my head
Oh if i could
If only i could dictate how it sat
Hopeful, hopeful, but lucid dreaming is totally out of my hands
