about

Sometimes in life you have to do drugs. Not that we're advocating it at all...we don't. But sometimes you need to sleep so you take a sleep aide and low and behold it makes you sleep walk or sleep (insert all the crazy things that happen in this song), because you don't know you're not really awake.

lyrics

How’d the baby get outside? Did you leave her out all night? You don’t recall taking that drive but the car is long gone. You don’t recall your suicide, well you shouldn’t ‘cause you’re still alive. Take two of these and get back with me and you should feel just fine.

I could sleep all day. But you…you don’t know you’re not really awake.

I see you heaving in your dreams and fighting ghosts you’ll never beat. A load of questions fills my mind but I’m laughing at the lines you draw in circles over your head; a well thought out battle plan. That’s what I guess might be going on but your brain is so long gone.

I could sleep all day. But you…you don’t know you’re not really awake.

A restless night of tense unease you would have never known. A naked run toward the Northern Shore brought a great idea to mind. When grizzly bear caught unawares by your gumped up grizzled scene. When I try to tell you how it all went down you never seem to believe. You greet me with smiles and a mile of denial without pause to hesitate. You greet me with smiles and a mile of denial; I’ve got the whole damn thing on tape.

I could sleep all day. But you…you don’t know you’re not really awake.
