Asleep
V1
Drinking from a fountain of fire and passion
Drunk on life in ways I never imagined
It was forever that we’d be together
Only to be severed by an ice-cold letter
Pre-chorus
Looking back through a wave of tears
What felt like death and fear
It was actually a treasure to me
Chorus
I’d fallen asleep, a glutton for ecstasy
Pain come be my friend, when I need to wake up again
The highest waves still crest, riding the peak ain’t always best
Pain come be my friend, when I need to wake up again
V2
What can seem like a demise
Can be the opening for brand new eyes
Grateful for the wakeup call
I know that you will never fall
Too far away to feel my prayers
I can’t convince myself not to care about you
Chorus
I’d fallen asleep, a glutton for ecstasy
Pain come be my friend, when I need to wake up again
The highest waves still crest, riding the peak ain’t always best
Pain come be my friend, when I need to wake up again
Chorus
I’d fallen asleep, a glutton for ecstasy
Pain come be my friend, when I need to wake up again
The highest waves still crest, riding the peak ain’t always best
Pain come be my friend, when I need to wake up again
