Tired tempting thoughts to sleep it off
Tempting tired thoughts will keep my eyes shut
All the time we spend asleep is the time we’re wasting
Wasting

Burn my bed

Why won’t we wake up?
Is it ‘cause you’re dead
Why won’t we wake up?
Is it ‘cause you’re dead

I swear I’ve seen that look before
Flesh magnetic and it’s oh so surreal
Then the bed shakes and you wish you hadn’t woken up at all

I like to think about the many shapes
That our bodies take in the dead of night
If only I could go back where I’d left off
Return, return

Why won’t we wake up?
Is it ‘cause you’re dead
Why won’t we wake up?

Stay awake for this (Hold on)
There’s too much to miss (Hold on)
Why do we insist on always shutting down?
Hold on

Oh now I see we’re just human batteries
Merely skin and energy
We’re just human batteries
Oh now I see we’re just human batteries
Always needing recharging
We’re just humans, we’re just humans

Oh god why do we do this?
Oh god why do we do this?
Oh god why do we do this?
Oh god why do we do this all the time?

I like to think about the many shapes
That our bodies take in the dead of night

I swear I’ve seen that look before
That horrid gaze could sear my core
Struck with fear
And I wish that I could shake myself awake

I’d rather dream about the many ways
That our bodies shake in this state of mind
Until my mind reminds me nothing’s real
Return, return
Oh it’s time to give up
It’s time to give up
It’s time to give up
Give up on your dreams
