Rest To Get Better

I haven’t slept in forever, only rest to get better
I’m up every three hours or so
With the same awful thoughts that keep me in my place
Too tired to act out or make sense of my day
Maybe, I’ll find peace
Maybe, between the cold sheets
Maybe, that’s all I need
Maybe, I’ll get some sleep

I haven’t slept in forever, only rest to get better
And dream up all the ways to escape
And when I’m wide-awake the world seems to move slowly
Like long goodbyes from the lonely sound of alarms
You think you get honest you only get meaner
You think it gets better you only break cleaner
Admit you’re a liar, admit that you need her
You think it gets better you only break cleaner

Maybe, I’ll find peace
Maybe, between the cold sheets
Maybe, that’s all I need
Maybe, I’ll get some sleep
I haven’t slept in forever, only rest to get better
And dream up all the ways to escape
And when I’m wide-awake the world seems to move slowly
Like long goodbyes from the lonely sound of alarms
I tried everything
Long goodbyes from the lonely sound of alarms
You don’t remember me
And we’ll never escape from the lonely sound of alarms

I will never escape
Maybe, it was the summer of ‘03
Maybe, we were 17 and 16
Maybe, you don’t remember me
Wide-awake the world moves slowly
I will never escape from the lonely
I haven’t slept in forever, only rest to get better
And dream up all the ways to escape
And when I’m wide-awake the world seems to move slowly

Like long goodbyes from the lonely sound of alarms
I tried everything
Long goodbyes from the lonely sound of alarms
You don’t remember me
Long goodbyes from the lonely sound of alarms
And we’ll never escape from the lonely sound of alarms
