lyrics

held back
repeat the loop
each day, comfort and discomfort
but if you let me off the chain
I might…
we don’t want to find out

static limbo
no highs, no lows
except what’s in my head
but if you let me off the chain
I might…
we don’t want to find out

don’t wake me up
I’m sleepwalking (dead dream walking)
sleepwalking (dead dream walking)

let’s not get caught up in the technicalities
please
the alarm’s relevance is not why I repent

so just let me off the chain
I will…
think we’re gonna find out
(let me out I can’t see)

and if you seek it
I can promise it’s somewhere you’ll never find
hiding in the pocket of someone you’ve never met
in a place you’ve never heard of
a place you hide from in your dreams
and if you find that place
you’ll wish you never had
some doors should stay closed
doors that can’t be unopened
and one day you’ll realize
that all you’ve been afraid of this entire time is yourself
just your own potential

will you rise up to yourself
or will we do this again
we can play this game infinite times

I guess we’ll see
won’t we
won’t we
