Asleep at the Wheel - Boston Manor

I’ll buy some cigarettes and smoke them on the beach

I’ll walk home alone and douse my whole bedroom in bleach

Because I feel safe behind these four brick walls

But my skin’s too thin so can I borrow yours?

It’s just enough to let you walk out of that door

Knowing you left your head at home

I’ll close my eyes but I haven’t dreamed in weeks

I’ll board up all of my windows and sedate myself with sleep

Cause I’m not giving up, but not getting up

Still here and it’s all because of me

Because I wished it was bright so i’ll just wait for the light

I’m sick of hearing I’m wrong instead of hearing I’m right

I’m sick of hearing that everything is fine

All I ever wanted to be

Was safe in the comfort of my own company

All that you ever needed from me was for me to be conscious

And act like there’s nothing wrong

I’ll close my eyes but I haven’t dreamed in weeks

I’ll board up all of my windows and sedate myself with sleep

Cause I’m not giving up, but not not getting up

Still here and it’s all because of me

I fell asleep with the weight of the world

Crushing me until I’m gone

Until I’m gone

I’ll close my eyes but I haven’t dreamed in weeks

I’ll board up all of my windows and sedate myself with sleep

Cause I’m not giving up, but not getting up

Still here and it’s all because of me
