I don't gaze at stars or count any sheep
That doesn't save me from falling asleep
I'll give whatever my body can take
In my flawed attempt to keep myself awake
Should I fill my head
So I don't go to bed
And let the days fade out
Cause if I do fall asleep
I'll get caught up in a dream
The weight will hold me down
Should I fill my head
So I don't go to bed
And let the days fade out
Cause if I do fall asleep
I'll get caught up in a dream
The weight will hold me down
Down (x2) Hold me down
The weight that I hold, the stories I keep
They're dragging me down into a deeper sleep
And what should I do for heaven's sake?
Oh why can't I keep myself awake?
Should I fill my head
So I don't go to bed
And let the days fade out
Cause if I do fall asleep
I'll get caught up in a dream
The weight will hold me down
(The weight will hold me down)
Should I fill my head
So I don't go to bed
And let the days fade out
(And let the days fade out)
Cause if I do fall asleep
I'll get caught up in a dream
The weight will hold me down
(The weight will hold me down)
Down (x2) Hold me down
Down (x2) Hold me down
Down, Down (x2)
