Talking In My Sleep

I write tons of poems

Poems in my head

To keep me from my problems

And truths that I'll never address

And I wish you could peel

Peel back my skin

To see behind my cold eyes

So you feel what I feel in my head

She overdosed

And not by mistake

When your ma tries to take her own life

How the fuck do you speak about it?

Talking in my sleep

It's terrifying me

Tortured every night

Frozen in my dreams

I built this castle strong

So I can keep the pain inside

But it takes over me

I'm talking in my sleep

Come here and take

Take me by the hand

Don't mind the scars that they have

From the fights and the things I regret

I shoot on the pain

Becoming a man

I am selfish and numb

I'm just doing the best that I can

Too proud to address

My insecurities

I'll just keep playing God

And ignore all the help I should get

Talking in my sleep

It's terrifying me

Tortured every night

Frozen in my dreams

I built this castle strong

So I can keep the pain inside

But it takes over me

I'm talking in my sleep

I'm talking, I'm talking

I'm talking in my sleep

I'm talking, I'm talking

I'll write what I feel

In songs about sex

To take me from the fringes

The outskirts where I always am

And I always push

Everyone away

'Cause the world has been cruel

If you knew me, then you'd understand

Hey

Talking in my sleep

It's terrifying me

Tortured every night

Frozen in my dreams

I built this castle strong

So I can keep the pain inside

But it takes over me

I'm talking in my sleep

I'm talking, I'm talking

I'm talking in my sleep

I'm talking, I'm talking
