Olivia McKaig - asleep Lyrics

Oh you got a load on your back
I can tell from where I'm at
That it's to your detriment
Holding onto your last thread
Cause it's all that you have left
And if you're getting ahead
Someone makes sure to condemn
You're never close to the end
Just nearing more towards the edge
Hitting all of your limits
Biding time 'til you transcend
It takes and it takes
Each moment you spend awake
It takes and it takes
You're barely catching a break
You've tried to be what you need
Still craving that sweet relief
Cause you only get to feel real peace
When you're asleep
How can you block out what everybody says
When their opinions linger on in your head
Then you comply
And conform to a lie
It's so tiring
It takes and it takes
Each moment you spend awake
It takes and it takes
You're barely catching a break
You've tried to be what you need
Still craving that sweet relief
Cause you only get to feel real peace
When you're asleep
It takes and it takes
Each moment you spend awake
It takes and it takes
You're barely catching a break
You've tried to be what you need
Still craving that sweet relief
Cause you only get to feel real peace
When you're asleep
