Asleep At The Wheel

I'll buy some cigarettes and smoke them on the beach

I'll walk home alone and douse my whole bedroom in bleach

Because I feel safe behind these four brick walls

But my skin's too thin, so can I borrow yours?

It's just enough, it's just enough

To let you walk out of that door

Knowing you left your head at home

I'll close my eyes but I haven't dreamed in weeks

I'll board up all of my windows and sedate myself with sleep

'Cause I'm not giving up, but not getting up

Still here and it's all because of me

Because I wished it was bright

So I'll just wait for the light

I'm sick of hearing I'm wrong

Instead of hearing I'm right

I'm sick of hearing that everything is fine

All I ever wanted to be was

Safe in the comfort of my own company

All that you ever needed from me

Was for me to be conscious and act like there's nothing wrong

I'll close my eyes but I haven't dreamed in weeks

I'll board up all of my windows and sedate myself with sleep

'Cause I'm not giving up, but not getting up

Still here and it's all because of me

I fell asleep with the weight of the world

Crushing me until I'm gone, until I'm gone

I'll close my eyes but I haven't dreamed in weeks

I'll board up all of my windows and sedate myself with sleep

'Cause I'm not giving up, but not getting up

Still here and it's all because of me
