Sleep It Off

I'm tired of putting you to bed
Just to wake back up with you again
Each night I think I'm over it
But then I feel you closing in

I try so hard to keep my mind at bay
But I can't keep holding back this way
My days and nights all look the same
This rhythms driving me insane

Tell me, tell me, how I could have been
Tell me, tell me, how I should have been
My eyes are red and my body aches
But my mind is keeping me awake
I can't keep out these echoed thoughts
So I guess I'll sleep it off

I'm done with wasting another night
Waiting for my eyes to see the light
Cause I've been counting threads
And tossing in this bed but never winning the fight
This clock won't keep me from losing time
I'll slow it down and confront my mind
Now I won't second guess
The beating in my chest that says that I'm alive

I try so hard to keep my mind at bay
But I can't keep holding back this way
My days and nights all look the same
This rhythms driving me insane

Tell me, tell me, how I could have been
Tell me, tell me, how I should have been
My eyes are red and my body aches
But my mind is keeping me awake
I can't keep out these echoed thoughts
So I guess I'll sleep it off

I'm tired of seeing the ceiling staring back at me feeling
Like I'll never get better than I am right now
I can't keep shutting my mind down when the echoes get too loud
Cause closing my eyes is never the way out
I want to wake with the sunrise and start feeling alright
Like I'm finally in control of my life
I want to know when I wake up my minds not as fucked up
As I thought I was last night

Tell me, tell me, how I could have been
Tell me, tell me, how I should have been
My eyes are red and my body aches
But my mind is keeping me awake
I can't keep out these echoed thoughts
So I guess I'll sleep it off
