Tired and Awake - Oliver Riot

Something in the way you bloom

Soft cracks, subtly scratched, and skewed

Lullabies and afternoons

You’ve past, withering fast, confused

I know, it’s a mistake

Falling in love, just to make a friend stay

Disgrace, give me a break

I’m trying to die happy someday

Heaven, let me come stay?

What would it cost,

How would I pay?

Please just, save me a place

Tired and I’m awake

Something in the way we move

Camouflaged, everyone hides in two’s

Entourage, go chase the group

It’s a rats race, always afraid, to lose

I know, it’s a mistake

Falling in love, just to make a friend stay

Disgrace, give me a break

I’m trying to die happy someday

Heaven, let me come stay?

What would it cost,

How would I pay?

Please just, save me a place

Tired and I’m awake

Oh I loathe, anyone sways me

Back and forth, porcelain daisy

I’m sure, puppeteers made me

Tied, arms high

Uncontrolled, strung up and crazy

Take hold, patient constraining

I loathe, how I’ve been tamed to

Fear goodbyes

I know, it’s a mistake

Falling in love, just to make a friend stay

Disgrace, give me a break

I’m trying to die happy someday

Heaven, let me come stay?

What would it cost,

How would I pay?

Please just, save me a place

Tired and I’m awake

Tired and I’m awake

I’m tired, and I’m

Awake
