“This song is about getting lost in the cycles, when toxicity and negativity becomes so constant, there’s a deep space in your mind that gets filled with regrets, mistakes and hate. It constantly replays, every experience is re imagined and scrutinized, you wake up and it’s the first thing you feel,...
[Verse 1]
Losing track of hours, stumble through the daze
Draining every colour to grey
Afraid of my reflection, scratching at the walls
Every light is starting to fade
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm praying for a reverie
I'm praying for relief
I'm praying to the memory
It's all that's left of me
[Chorus]
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
But I'm not breathing
I'm drowning in a tidal wave
It's a remedy
[Verse 2]
Shadows on my shoulder, this heart beats hollow
Hourglass has run out of sand
Thoughts are growing heavy, the weight is unforgiving
This empty shell is half of a man
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm praying for a reverie
There's nothing left of me
[Chorus]
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
But I'm not breathing
I'm drowning in a tidal wave
It's a remedy
[Post-Chorus]
And the daylight doesn't feel right
I don't want to find a way
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
But I'm not breathing
[Bridge]
Losing track of hours, stumble through the daze
Draining every colour to grey
Afraid of my reflection, scratching at the walls
Every light is starting to fade
[Chorus]
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
But I'm not breathing
I'm drowning in a tidal wave
[Post-Chorus]
And the daylight doesn't feel right
I don't want to find a way
I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake
But I'm not breathing
[Outro]
But I'm not breathing
But I'm not breathing
