Hera Lainey - Dreaming Awake

I threw my bed out in the front yard
'Cause I won't need it anymore
My eyes have packed their bags, but I don't care
It's somehow better than before

So over counting sheep
I refuse to go to sleep
I write stories in my dreams
So why should I just let them be?
No one understands my head
Won't listen to what I said
They tell me to go to bed
But I can't leave my dreams for dead

My mind speaks in
Once upon a time
I refuse to walk the line
I'm the one who wonders why
protagonize
My own storyline
I don't need a lullaby
Cause I dream awake at night

First light of dawn peeks through my window
But I hear music in the rain
Finding my freedom in an old place
I wonder where mind will take me today

not a dark and stormy night
Cause I turned on all my lights
Guess it's a reasonable price
I refuse to waste my time
When the darkness tries to win
Lock the door, don't let it in
I let my head start to spin
Baby, let the games begin

My mind speaks in
Once upon a time
I refuse to walk the line
I'm the one who wonders why
protagonize
My own storyline
I don't need a lullaby
Cause I dream awake at night

Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Oh
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
No
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Oh
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
I don't want to go to sleep

My mind speaks in
Once upon a time
I refuse to walk the line
I'm the one who wonders why
protagonize
My own storyline
I don't need a lullaby
Cause I dream awake at night

I don't need a lullaby
Cause I dream awake at night
