It’s 20 past 12 in the morning
I’m awake when I should be snoring
Don’t know what to do, don’t know what path to take
Am I getting left behind or am I getting shown a sign?
I should be busy falling asleep but I’m busy falling awake, yeah
Awake yeah


Days were good but they finish with aching
Roller coasters all around and my head is spinning
I’m just tryna be the good guy but I end up feeling like Satan
I wish there was some part of me that got saving lately
How can times be so good but feel so bad
Do things like this and that
These things are total whack
My words feel like they mean total crap, yeah
I just want to see all the meaning in my words
See all the times that they get heard
Appreciate the times they are worth it
Instead of feeling left in the dirt then
Why is my head feeling like a prison
It felt so full of hope and full of joy
This was not a plan, not a ploy
It was well thought out, a masterpiece and solo mission
Girl, I will always listen
Please tell me what I did it’s fucking with my head
I can’t stand this, the feeling of despair and being left on read
The limits you told me, the love you sold me
When I know that all I really wish I would’ve said was...


I love you...
I’m crazy and my head is so fucking messed up
I’m insane and my thoughts are in the ground
But I love you and...
It’s 20 past 12 in the morning
I’m awake when I should be snoring
Am I getting left behind or am I getting shown a sign?
I should be busy falling asleep but I’m busy falling awake, yeah
Awake yeah


Baby I cannot fall asleep
My life is full with doubts
Just wanting you to see that there’s no one else around
My words may be quiet but my mind is fucking loud
Thumping in my head until I fall into the ground
Show me a sign, please show me that you care
I’m living a life full of death so I’m livin’ on a prayer
There’s a monster in my head that I’m trying not to scare
I’m scared that if I scare that I’ll wake up from this nightmare
Yeah I’ll wake up from this nightmare
Lacking confidence and more essential skills
Popping all my luck so I don’t have to pop these pills
This ending is such a scary thought
My head is turning slowly but my mouth has these words to spill..


I love you...
I’m crazy and my head is so fucking messed up
I’m insane and my thoughts are in the ground
But I love you and... I love you and...
It’s 20 past 12 in the morning
I’m awake when I should be snoring
Am I getting left behind or am I getting shown a sign?
I should be busy falling asleep but I’m busy falling awake, yeah
Awake yeah
Awake yeah
Busy falling asleep... But I’m busy falling awake
I’m not falling asleep tonight
