[Verse 1]

There sat a new test

Much harder that you bought in

As for the unseen

Just take care of what you will

Light the silent alarm

We never think that we're missing much 'til

[Chorus]

I gasp and hold my breath

These needs had changed so deep

To face you all and say

I've been awake for years

[Verse 2]

I need a new test

Better set out to choose someone to

Light the soul like a kiln

Just imagine us chasing this with

Eyes scorned from sleep apnea

A slight of tongue as the seas are emptying

[Chorus]

I gasp and hold my breath

These needs had changed so deep

To face you all and say

I've been awake forever

Ever, ever, ever

[Bridge]

Try to read off a letter that's falling apart

The sun and the moon, I count sheep

Escape like an animal I'm ready for my

Sleepless stroll

I've felt these shifting hours mistakenly used up

[Chorus]

So I gasp and hold my breath

These needs had changed so deep

To face you all and say

I've been awake for years

[Chorus]

So I gasp and hold my breath

These needs had changed so deep

To face you all and say

I've been awake forever

Ever, ever, ever
