Fall to Sleep - The Wild Reeds

We rise up late again

The mornings when the truth really seeps in

We’re all just trying to get by

Rushing to our 9 to 5s

We’re living at the top of the night

Feet up against the window as we take a drive

Staring up at stars, I’m losing sense of the time

Not worried about the morning light

Starting to see the morning light

Fall to sleep, hold on to something sweet

It’s the only place where you can hide

From your own conscious mind

The gaslight is on again

Scrap the bottom of my purse to try and fill it

And I know that I’ll be alright

If I can just make it to my 9 to 5

All your friends tell you that you’ll be fine

You’re strong and they’re not worried, it’s a matter of time

But I’m worried about myself

And I’m worried about my mental health

Fall to sleep, hold on to something sweet

It’s the only place where you can hide

From your own conscious mind

The hardest part is getting out

Of the traps we set ourselves

When courage is a gamble and the future is a bet

I got too much down on who I was

And not enough on who I am
