Lyrics
Each night in my dreams, I make a town
Imagining and creating a town every night in dreams.
The suburbs are sleeping, I'm watching you drown
Feeling isolated and distant from others while witnessing someone struggle or suffer.
Is it you breathing down the back of my neck?
Sensing someone's presence closely behind.
Is it you? Swear I felt it, what the heck?
Expressing surprise at feeling that presence, questioning its reality.
Sleeping all day so you'll haunt me
Choosing to sleep excessively to avoid facing haunting thoughts or memories.
Doing it since I was fifteen
Engaging in this avoidance behavior since a young age.
Is it you, silhouette, no face?
Seeing a shadowy figure without a distinct identity.
Is it you, keeping me, half awake?
Attributing the state of being partially awake to this unknown presence.
I just wanna sleep, so I can keep you
Desiring rest but feeling compelled to keep the mysterious presence close.
Here with me
Wishing for the presence to stay with them.
My eyes are closed but I'm barely lucid
Being in a half-conscious state, aware but not fully present.
I built you a home, up where the moon is
Creating a place or a feeling of home in an unreachable place.
But you're always gone whenever the sun hits
Feeling abandoned when faced with reality or daylight.
I fall into darkness, the water is ruthless
Experiencing a deep emotional fall or struggle when faced with harsh realities.
Do I have to go through this?
Questioning the necessity of enduring this emotional turmoil.
Sleeping all day so you'll haunt me
Using sleep as a way to avoid confronting haunting thoughts or memories.
Doing it since I was fifteen
Continuing this pattern of escapism since a young age.
Is it you, silhouette, no face?
Perceiving an indistinct figure without a clear identity.
Is it you, keeping me, half awake?
Associating the state of being partially awake with this unidentified presence.
I just wanna sleep, so I can keep you
Desiring sleep to retain the presence close.
Here with me
Expressing the wish for the presence to stay.
I don't want to wake up if you're not going to be there, oh it's not fair
Expressing reluctance to wake up if the presence isn't there, feeling unfair.
If you'll never wake up, I'd rather be in the dark, ooh-ooh-ooh
Preferencing staying in the dark over waking up without the presence.
I don't want to wake up if you're not going to be there, it's not fair
Reiterating the unfairness of waking up without the presence.
