I Live to Fall Asleep
[Verse 1]
I live to fall asleep, it's when I stop the hate
I never want to dream it infiltrates beauty
I live to fall asleep, regenerate and sin
Skin so tense gives in, I've lived enough to kill
[Pre-Chorus]
When did you become another distant friend?
Everyone who loved you stayed, waited till the end
When did you become another distant friend?
Everyone who loved you stayed, waited till the end
Woah, when did you decide that sleep could save your life?
How could you become (another boy struck dumb?)
How could you become another boy struck dumb with love?
[Chorus]
I live to fall asleep
I live to fall asleep
[Verse 2]
I live to fall asleep, it helps me through the day
Drink has never dulled, a pain so deep does run
I live to fall asleep, serene, alone, happy
Holding onto screams, waiting for the time
[Pre-Chorus]
When did you become another distant friend?
Everyone who loved you stayed, waited till the end
When did you become another distant friend?
Everyone who loved you stayed, waited till the end
Oh, when did you decide that sleep could save your life?
How could you become (another boy struck dumb?)
How could you become another boy struck dumb with love?
[Chorus]
I live to fall asleep
I live to fall asleep
Ah-ah, oh
[Bridge]
So lazy, lazy, lazy, chuck down all the pills
Needing to remember how and why to live
Oh, when did you decide that sleep could save your life?
How could you become (another boy struck dumb?)
How could you become another boy struck dumb with love?
[Chorus]
I live to fall asleep
I live to fall asleep
Ah-ah, oh
