lyrics

If the meds stop the nightmares, will it stop all my dreams?
Even the good ones and just be a black screen?
Is that what it’s like to die in your sleep?
I don’t wanna stop dreaming,
I don’t wanna sleep.

I switched from seroquel to prazosin
Everything begins and ends
With pills in my hands.
When you kissed me, was it planned?
When you kissed me, did you know I was sleeping?

If I get sad enough I’ll cut my hair
It’s almost enough to pretend that you’re there
Is this what it’s like to drown on dry land?
I wanna keep breathing,
This wasn’t the plan

I switched from seroquel to prazosin
Everything begins and ends
With pills in my hands.
When you hurt me, was it planned?
When you hurt me, did you know I was sleeping?

What’s it like to sleep well at night?
Do murderers wake up sweating
thinking of their victim’s eyes?
Do you think about mine ?

I stopped smoking weed
But I kept drinking gin
