Beard - Fall Asleep

When you are away from me
I can't even fall asleep
When I close my eyes
You're all I see
You take all of me

Staring at the phone again
Wish you weren't my only friend
Thinking of the ways that I can trick my brain to descend 'neath the wave
Slip away again
Now I'm feeling my self decay
But I can't seem to drift away
Why does this happen every day?
I don't know
I don't know

I can't even explain it the time that I've dedicated
To tryna put back the pieces of a puzzle that I don't comprehend
Sometimes I feel like my brain's not my friend
Why should I write this story?
I don't like the end
But maybe if I try harder I'll find a way to restart it
So I can get back to where I've been
I don't know
I don't know

When you are away from me
I can't even fall asleep
When I close my eyes
You're all I see
You take all of me

Just a fat kid walkin' on a tightrope
Treadin' uphill tryna find the right slope
Feel like the devil's got his hand on my throat
Maybe one of these days I just might choke
But until then I'm swimmin'
But every time that I'm winnin' I get stuck at the beginnin'
But still, I know I'll find a way
'Cause I cannot stay trapped inside this place for another day
Time to make a change

I just feel Sisyphean
I can feel myself breathin'
And now my pulse it is speedin' as I stare up at the ceilin'
And now my mind's started reelin'
And as the earth, I am leavin'
I can watch my thoughts float away
They're slowly recedin'
Now I'm missin' yesterday as I slip away
Consciousness is frayed
Maybe for today, I will be okay but
I don't know
I don't know

When you are away from me
I can't even fall asleep
When I close my eyes
You're all I see
You take all of me

All of me
All of
