[Verse 1]
I'm needin' attention
Melodramatic
Lackin' every good intention
Burned my tongue on insubmission
Starting over
I just wanna be starting over
'Cause I keep fallin' over
[Chorus]
I stay awake
Though my soul's asleep
Though my soul's asleep
I need a break
From the apathy
From the apathy
[Verse 2]
Hate that I need you
But every ounce of me is see-through
And I need truth
Starting over
I just wanna be starting over
[Chorus]
I stay awake
Though my soul's asleep
Though my soul's asleep
I need a break
From the apathy
From the apathy
[Refrain]
I'm scrapin' off the paint
I'm makin' room for what you have to say
I'm throwin' me away
I'm tearin' up the carpet
I'm scrapin' off the paint (The paint)
I'm makin' room for what you have to say
I'm throwin' me away (Away)
I'm tearin' up the carpet (Mm-mm)
I'm scrapin' off the paint (Off the paint, the paint)
I'm makin' room for what you have to say (Oh, I'm throwin' me away)
I'm throwin' me away
I'm tearin' up the carpet (Tearin' up the carpet)
(Tearin' up the carpet)

“Asleep” is the first song I wrote for what would become my album The Lack Thereof. it was December of 2020 and my debut record was out and living with all of you. I knew the next project was gonna have to depict the search for answers, considering the first go-around was a lot of, well, questions....
I knew “Asleep” was to be the final track on the album as soon as I wrote it. The album chronicles my journey to finding myself again, and it was too hopeful to be at the beginning. This song was the finish line. We captured waves via iPhone voice memos, and used a room mic to captured me sitting at...
“Asleep” was the first song I wrote intentionally for The Lack Thereof. I knew as soon as it happened I had to end the story there. It’s about apathy and running from it. It’s about love. It’s about growing. It’s about fear. It’s about starting over, even when you don’t know how. My absolute favorit...
