lyrics

So you just found out life is something only you can ever do for you,
and despite these circumstances and these shadings oh i know you'll make it through,
words can only go so far from mouth to ears i hit a solid wall,
words can only go so far from heart to brain you know it's gonna stall.

but you fall asleep anyway
and if you could you'd sleep away your days,
and you find you are repeatedly afraid.

you know deep down we're all just made of cells.
a hundred million each with something else to tell
and it would take a lifetime just to hear,
but it takes a single question just to bring you near,

but you fall asleep anyway
and if you could you'd sleep away your days,
and you find you are repeatedly afraid to live.

romantics always have their eyes cast down,
romantics always think their lives are running out,
but don't you think we have just enough?
or maybe i'm just not afraid to use it all up?

but you fall asleep anyway
and if you could you'd sleep away your days,
and you find you are repeatedly afraid to live.
